 * Keep. It is unfortunate that there is no specific WP:NSWIMMER. However, Havaldar has won significant numbers of gold medals in national competitions, and has medalled at the South East Asian Games. Comparing this record to other sporting classes suggests that this should be sufficient for a sportsman. Significant coverage such as: http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-sports/Rohit-Havaldar-hauls-it-in/article16617961.ece satisfies WP:GNG. Ross-c (talk) 06:03, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep as per above. -The Gnome (talk) 09:33, 11 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. In addition to the significant source above, Havaldar gets frequent mentions in news articles that are much more than just reporting on scores; he appears to be an icon in the Indian swimming community.Jacona (talk) 13:54, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly meets WP:GNG per the above sources. This has been a repeated problem with this nominator, and it may be time to take further action against him. Smartyllama (talk) 12:35, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
