 * Weak keep; the source in the article is the only instance of significant coverage (barely, excluding the interview) I can find and that will not push it over the bar, but it does reference his participation at the World Championships. However, he seems to meet WP:ATH by having participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level (the Racquetball World Championships) and given he got a silver medal as referenced in the source I think that it is fair to say that he can be presumed to pass our notability standards. Racquetball is not a significant enough sport to have its own notability guideline, but the significance of the silver medal more than makes up for that (even though it's doubles). He barely passes WP:BLP1E as a high-profile individual arguably given this as even though it is only an explanatory supplement it is linked from a policy so it carries some degree of importance. It also states that some subject specific notability guidelines, such as Notability (sports), provide criteria that may support the notability of certain individuals who are known chiefly for one event which would exclude it from WP:BIO1E as well. All in all, I believe that this article is barely notable, and I think that this discussion should have resulted in a demonstration of notability as well.
