Fails WP:Notability (sports). Lacks any recognition. Buzzards-Watch Me Work (talk) 20:07, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:GNG - "...has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.." Within seconds I was able to find this, this and this. And there's this which states his victory in that race was the first ever for Team Novo Nordisk (his cycling team).  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 20:47, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete... So? A 2.2 victory isn't notable (per guidelines)... Plus it's his only accomplishment. Buzzards-Watch Me Work (talk) 21:27, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * BTW, no media coverage outside his victory (minus blog and team bios). Buzzards-Watch Me Work (talk) 21:50, 22 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep The guideliness are stating what notable articles are and not the other way around, that all other articles are not notable. I know many cyclists who has pages that don't meet the WP:NCYCLING. With significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, we can keep this article. In addition a few sources in foreign languages here and here. Note: article also has French article: fr:Scott Ambrose. Sander.v.Ginkel (Je suis Charlie) 22:07, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Significant coverage? All the sources are about the same victory. Outside of that, nothing exists. Buzzards-Watch Me Work (talk) 22:13, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete There really aren't multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I don't think there are any, except the cycling database sites. The biography on the team website is clearly not independent, while the other articles address him only tangentially. There's every chance an article will be appropriate in future, but NotJustYet.

 * Keep Meets GNG. Subject not likely to remain low-profile. Can be expanded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paperpencils (talk • contribs) 12:42, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - we aren't here to predict the future; right now he just isn't notable. WalkingOnTheB (talk) 04:57, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, doesn't meet notability. 164.106.2.242 (talk) 16:24, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * That's a pretty poor attempt at a sock puppet account, Buzzards. Your userpage states you're from Northern Virginia. The IP editor has made 10 edits in total, with only four in the last two years, and they come to this AfD. Just by chance. And their IP address is from Virginia Community College System. In Richmond. Northern Virginia. I'm looking at a row of ducks right now.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:19, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Great investigative work. :) Why would I? My opinion has weight. The anon made numerous edits on Team Novo Nordisk... Richmond is 2-3 hours from NVA; Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia, are closer. I would take this seriously, if Lugnuts wasn't a biased editor. He said: "I'm not even sure why you exist on here TBH", and stalks my contributions, he injected himself in a conversation between me and an admin. I think that demonstrates Lugnuts' stripes.

 * BTW, Paperpencils and Lugnuts are inclusionists... They edit on English time. Puppets? Crazy, isn't? Buzzards-Watch Me Work (talk) 03:23, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I've raised this issue at ANI for further discussion. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 06:59, 31 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Per two keep votes above. Article can be expanded with the help of other sources that are mentioned in fr.wiki.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 07:19, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Easy to find articles featuring him in multiple sources online, notability requirements for athletes are surprisingly lean - get rid of this one, and 90% of all the soccer (football) and rugby players in Wikipedia would disappear. ScrapIronIV (talk) 13:29, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
