Gadisa Abebe
This athlete has never competed on a high level of his sport, failing the criteria for sportspeople in WP:BIO. Punkmorten 10:26, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - fails to assert notability in it's current form. Tagged as such. MER-C 11:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that notability has been asserted (and the speedy withdrawn by me), I'd say keep as he appears to be professional enough to satisfy WP:BIO. MER-C 12:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What is the connection between those races and professionalism? They seem like random road races to me. Punkmorten 21:50, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Come back if he makes the Ethiopian team for the World Cross country or similar. - fchd 20:33, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete in its current for as a failure of WP:BIO with the same consern as Punkmorten. There is no indication he won, set some record, or anything else besides ran in these races.  While good for him, it ain't encyclopedicly notable.--Gay Cdn  (talk) (email) (Contr.) 15:34, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Those races are however quite notable in the Netherlands with international runners etc, specially the Postbankloop Velp and the Tilburg 10 Miles, which are also always covered on TV, teletext etc. Anyways, I have no obligations in him, so if the result is delete, then delete the article.
