 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment: the article is entirely unsourced and given the lack of press coverage for Mr. Shabazz I doubt we could source much more than the event history (E.g. 2002). His personal website is defunct. Even with a well sourced event history what is the requirement for body builders? He does have at least one 1st place -- is that enough? Should this article just be deconstructed into a stub? —  Noah  07:22, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. This person is probably notable per WP:Athlete, but the entire mass of the article is pure WP:ADMASQ puffery and should be WP:Dynamited. Pax 07:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - A former champion and professional body-builder. We should treat this page as we would for a page of any other pro athlete. Self-promoting tone is an editing matter, not a notability matter. Carrite (talk) 18:12, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
