A young English skier, winner of a junior competition. The article was proded (by myself) with this rationale: ''Subject of this article doesn't meet the criteria for athletes. Lack of reliable third party sources proving notability of the subject.'' Prod template was removed without significant improvements.

 * Delete - When looking at general notability, the article provides a single reference to a newspaper article covering his under-19 series win. But I can find no other significant coverage about him.  A single article isn't sufficient.  Looking at WP:ATHLETE, I looked for evidence of him competing at the highest level of his sport.  For alpine skiing, this would be the FIS World Cup events.  Looking at the information on the FIS site, he is registered in both alpine and freestyle.  Freestyle shows no results whatsoever.  His alpine record is limited with no World Cup appearances (which would show in the competition record as FIS World Cup).  As such, I don't see him satisfying the criteria as an athlete competing at the highest level of his sport.  His win as a junior at the national level may foreshadow things to come, and when that day does come, then would be the time for this article. -- Whpq (talk) 20:01, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
