Robert Andya

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject of this article is not notable under Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline or as an athlete, specifically under the section High school and pre-high school athletes (the athlete's age is listed on the page, showing him to be of high school age). Related to athletes, this sportsperson has not competed in the Olympics, Youth Olympic Games, Pan American Games, skiing World Cup, World Championships, or the National Championships. A Wikipedia article's subject should have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Related to significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, the sources listed in this article are not independent of the subject as they are mostly self published: blogs or profile pages for the athlete. Also, a Google search reveals no press articles to support the article. Further, a Proposed Deletion tag was added, endorsed, and removed from this article on 31 October/1 November; and relatedly, an article with a similar title, Robert andya, was deleted using Criteria for Speedy Deletion A7 on 17 August 2013. While I admire this athlete's drive and accomplishments, he is not yet to the point in his career for a Wikipedia article. -   t  u coxn \ talk 06:48, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, and possibly salt due to the history of multiple recreations. Teenage skier with the non-notable organization Monster Army. A long way from notability (as Wikipedia defines it) at this time. --MelanieN (talk) 21:56, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

!!!www.monsterarmy.com is the Monster Army Development Team Site. They and Section 0 Freeride(subsection of Monster Army) have provided the detailed career results for athlete Robert Andya!!! !!!I Darkstryker0 have done a personal interview with Robert Andya and have had all facts confirmed!!! This article should not be deleted due to the nature of the fact that the people nominating this page to be deleted do not have the knowledge I have gained through eye witness accounts and interviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkstryker0 (talk • contribs) 22:32, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Darkstryker, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but the rule here is no original research. We can't base an article based on your own personal knowledge and research (or mine, for that matter). The material has to have been published somewhere; Wikipedia is not the publisher of first resort. There are plenty of places where you can share your knowledge about the subject - such as Facebook, or blogs - but Wikipedia is not one of them. --MelanieN (talk) 22:55, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkstryker0 (talk • contribs) 03:29, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
 * If I publish thye transcript of my articles that I have obtained and pages linking to official race results, can this page continue? I enjoy my research on Mr. Andya as I see him as the future of freeride skiing. This article can only go up from here I think
