Heath Davidson

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Just why is this person notable? Not per consensus Tennis Guidelines or Wikipedia NSPORT/Olympic guidelines. You usually have to win a paralympic medal in order to be notable. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:22, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep No, the guidelines say that you have to win a medal to be presumed notable. This is something quite different. Per Notability (sports): Subjects that do not meet the sport-specific criteria outlined in this guideline may still be notable if they meet the General Notability Guideline. The fact is that there has been significant independent coverage of Heath Davidson to write an article. We know this is true, because a substantial article has already been written. He is a very well-known face in Australia because he appears in Optus commercials. Any distinction between Olympians and Paralympians belongs to an earlier era. The latter are as well-known today.

 * Which is what was said... you usually have to win a medal... not always because rarely GNG will enter into the picture. If it can be shown he is the exception then that will be fine. If you are trying to say that like the Olympics all Paralympic athletes are notable, that's silly and off the charts wrong against consensus guidelines.

 * Well, now he has won a gold medal! Can we close this? Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:46, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep AfD rationale is moot as athlete has now won a medal and satisfies guidelines. Smartyllama (talk) 15:02, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
