This reads like an advertisement with not enough references to back up the claims. The notability is definately in question. Peter Rehse (talk) 17:01, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I could find no supporting evidence that he has competed at any ITF world championships as an adult, much less won medals. I checked the records at taekowndodata.com, the ITF website, and the European federation website. I didn't check for junior events since they don't show notability. It's possible that he won some minor organization's titles, but there's no sources for that either. The article doesn't give any sources for any of the titles claimed and fails to show he meets WP:GNG. Mdtemp (talk) 19:27, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep – there are two sources which state he won international medals, one of which was at the article before this AfD was opened. C679 20:06, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I saw that but the article itself points out that it is not the WTF which holds the Taekwando World Championships or the Olympics - I don't think the ITF (whichever branch) has the same level of notability.Peter Rehse (talk) 21:24, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The Radio Prague article talks about his winning a world championship in Australia in 2005, but the ITF's adult world championships that year were in Dortmund, Germany. I keep getting a 404 error when I clicked on the link to the pdf file for the 2007 ITF championships, but I don't see his name at the ITF's listing of results for that year.  I'm also confused by the fact that the ITF's world championships (junior and senior) were in Quebec that year and the link says the results were from Bled.

 * Delete There doesn't seem to be any evidence of him winning an adult ITF title. I also didn't find anything to show any notable accomplishments with the WTF, which is the major TKD organization since they run the major world championships and Olympic events.  Any success at junior ITF events would be irrelevant for this discussion since junior martial arts events have never been considered sufficient to show notability.  The coverage doesn't qualify as significant enough to meet WP:GNG since one of the article's sources gives him a one line mention and the other (which I can't access) apparently is just a list of results.

 * It is complicated somewhat since, as I understand it, ITF has fragmented into three different versions with the same name.Peter Rehse (talk) 19:32, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * In which case any ITF title has even less significance in showing notability and there's still a lack of significant coverage. It definitely makes the WTF the 800 pound gorilla among taekwando organizations and events. Papaursa (talk) 19:49, 15 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete It's questionable that he meets the notability criteria for martial artists, but it's definite he doesn't meet WP:GNG. Appearing in a list of results and a passing mention is not enough to show significant coverage. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 15:48, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
