Petras Savickis

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The only claim to fame is for beating world record by lifting most 16 kg kettlebells in one hour. There are hundreds of world record holders and I don't think they deserve an article. Renata (talk) 23:48, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - notability isn't about imposing our value judgement as to who should be notable, it's about who has actually been noted. This guy has been noted by independent, reliable sources and is thus notable by the usual standard. Wily D  14:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Funny thing is that I cannot confirm the record with nay agency that would register such a thing. It was only advertised in local media. Renata (talk) 16:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Let's not suggest that Lithuanian media is somehow inferior to American media. Local vs nonlocal media is not a meaningful distinction (and as far as I know, all media should be expected to be local, nonlocal effects cannot transmit information. ;) Wily D  18:00, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I am from Lithuania and Lithuanian media is inferior to American... :P Anyhow, there is also WP:1E – the guy did nothing else of any note. And he, sadly, won't - he died this May. Renata (talk) 04:48, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:14, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete I did find this: http://www.hbhjuozas.lt/?en=1183383122 which you are welcome to use.  But I would prefer a Petras Savickis article on the film director.  I couldn't find anything on this weightlifter outside his company's 12th birthday celebration.  Sorry. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Renata and ChildofMidnight: seems like a clear BLP1E to me, and the topic apparently hasn't recieved significant coverage in multiple third-party sources. If we have an appropriate weight lifting world record list it should be added there, but a standalone article is not warranted. -- Amalthea Talk 12:36, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete doesn't meet the GNG. RMHED (talk) 19:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, but expand article - he's on international tv and not just Lithuanians know him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milzinas (talk • contribs) 01:24, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Expand with what? Where are your sources? ChildofMidnight (talk) 09:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
