Renominating this article. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBADMINTON. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 13:39, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The last discussion was closed mentioning the article passed WP:NBADMINTON. Hengen does not however.
 * WP:NBADMINTON States:
 * 1) Participation at the Olympic Games, or World Championships, - Has never competed in either event.
 * 2) Competed in the quarter finals at a tournament of the highest level outside of the Olympics or World Championships (e.g. Continental Championships, BWF Super Series or Commonwealth Games) in teams or singles or doubles competitions. - Has never
 * 3) Medalist at the highest international teams or singles/doubles championships of a country (e.g. Canadian Open, German Open, Slovak International).- Never
 * 4) Medalist at tournaments of the BWF Grand Prix Gold and Grand Prix. - From research it doesn't look he has competed in either, yet alone medal.
 * 5) Gold medalist at a national teams or singles/doubles championship, for countries that regularly send athletes to the Olympics. Yes he has won national titles, but Luxembourg has never competed in badminton at the Olympics.
 * Ergo, Hengen fails all five parts of WP:NBADMINTON and coupled with a lack of GNG this article is clearly not notable. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 13:42, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment As per WP:BEFORE B6, "Check if there are interlanguage links, also in the sidebar, which may lead to more developed and better sourced articles."  In this case there are articles on the de and lb Wikipedia's, each of which is better developed than the article here.  The lb page provides  and .

 * Keep I think the accomplishment of 17 1st place finishes, as detailed tournament by tournament on the de Wikipedia, exceeds the intent of WP:NBADMINTON, where one win for a larger country satisfies the requirement.  Unscintillating (talk) 19:02, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete does not meet any of the criteria for notability of badminton players.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:36, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Sportsfan 1234 has done a good job of showing he fails to meet the notability criteria for badminton players. The article has no sources that show WP:GNG is met.  My own search didn't find any significant coverage and the article cited by Unscintillating is a few sentences saying he regained his Luxembourg title (routine sports reporting of results).  His highest world ranking ever was 646  and that's generally nowhere near high enough to show notability. Papaursa (talk) 23:47, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- fails to meet the relevant sports notability guideline and significant RS coverage not found. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:07, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete lacks significant coverage fails WP:GNG, also failed SNG Badminton. I find the rationale above that German notability guidelines should be above en-wiki's WP:NBADMINTON very weird and unconvincing –Ammarpad (talk) 18:52, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
