 * Keep I cleaned up some of the article (that's one of the problems with autobiographies). More importantly, I was able to source two of his bronze medals at the JJIF world championships.  Even though I couldn't find sources for some of the other claims, I think this is enough to show notability. Papaursa (talk) 20:17, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Medals at four world championships (even if only 2 are sourced) is enough to meet WP:MANOTE. I think the whole section on training can go unless someone can add some sources.Mdtemp (talk) 20:01, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
