Franky Morales
His most visible award was the Bronze Medal in the X-Games (2001), and the sport has since been dropped from said X-Games, making him not notable enough for Wikipedia. DeMatt 05:04, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - It seems like me may meet one of the criteria at WP:BIO: "Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in... the highest level in mainly amateur sports". A very weak keep at best. --Daniel Olsen 06:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak keep per WP:BIO in the comment above, which I was just about to cite. :) Daveydw ee b ( chat/patch ) 06:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete doesnt meet WP:BIO, the sport has been dropped and he only came third. Meaningless article. (Therin83 11:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC))
 * Keep The fact that the sport has been dropped doesn't strip his notability.-- Hús  ö  nd  15:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BIO. I've added a third-party source.  Ultra-Loser  Talk / Contributions 00:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: That biography listed at EXPN hasn't been updated since 2002 (pre- X-Games VIII)... kind of shows how important it is.DeMatt 20:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: if being an X-Games medallist made him notable, that shouldn't change just because they dropped the sport. Unless they withdrew his medal at the same time.  Otherwise, he's just as much of an X-Games medallist as he ever was.   Xtifr tälk 09:26, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - I am not seeing the WP:BIO compliance. The one source is woeful - take this from the Notable: section "His dred locks, gold teeth and the way he wears his pants fastened below his butt, which shows off his boxers, is unique among AIL pros.". As mentioned above the source is well out of date. BlueValour 00:26, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
