Genci Cakciri

this person may actually be notable, if the claims made of his having been national tennis champion (for Albania) are indeed true, but no sources have been provided, and the article is not at all written in a way suggesting encyclopedic value. This guy does exists and is (or has been until recently) a competitive tennis player - he competed at the 2007 Summer Universiade in Bangkok. He has, however, no profile page with ATP.com, and no mention at the Albanian language wikipedia. And Albania does not a Davis Cup team,, so nothing on him can be gained at daviscup.com. Then as to the chief writer of this article, the contributor was asked over 2 years ago to provide sources and apparently just shrugged this off as irrelevant Mayumashu (talk) 00:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep and tag for referencing. It's likely we need somebody with knowledge of Albanian to get at sourcing.  This ITF newsletter identifies him as an Albanian national coach. -- Whpq (talk) 20:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete without prejudice towards re-creation if reliable sources can be found. He may be notable, but I cannot verify it per WP:V. The above link indicates that he is a coach at the junior level. Location (talk) 03:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, but only if it can be properly sourced. I'd say that a four-time national champion, even if in a country that is not noted for its tennis players, does have a certain degree of notability. McMarcoP (talk) 10:53, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The WP:V issue aside, I don't think even a national championship passes WP:ATHLETE. First off, there is professional tennis and there is no evidence he competed as a pro. As an amateur, the Albanian national championship doesn't qualify as " the highest amateur level of a sport" since tennis is an Olympic sport as well as in events like the the Pan Am games etc. There isn't a single notable tournament listed for Albania.
