 * Maybe not enough for WP:NSPORTS, but maybe enough for GNG? Rlink2 (talk) 12:09, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Tiger Tyson has a page on Olympedia. His place as a competitor and flagbearer for ANT at the 2018 Youth Olympics and this source should be enough for GNG.

 * Delete. As Olympedia attempts to cover every Olympian, coverage within it for Olympians is WP:ROUTINE and does not count towards notability. It is also not WP:SIGCOV in this case, being limited to stats. As no other WP:SIGCOV has been provided, GNG is not met and the article should be deleted.

 * Hello @BilledMammal. After looking for additional sources, I found more that I have listed below. Would you mind reviewing and seeing if that influences your !vote in any way? (Also - I am not the article creator and have never edited it. Just an AfD watcher). Thank you! --Kbabej (talk) 15:28, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks but I see nothing in the extra sources provided that prove significant coverage enough for this person to pass WP:SIGCOV or WP:GNG. The Sail World reference is a passing mention, the Caribbean sailing reference just talks about him winning a race and qualifying for the Youth Olympics isn't up there with qualifying for the actual Olympics. There is no WP:NSPORT category for Kite surfing and WP:NOLYMPICS talks about being a medal winner. I'll still vote for delete.—  NZFC  (talk) (cont)  16:06, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Fair enough @NZFC! I appreciate you taking the time. Be well! --Kbabej (talk) 16:08, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. There are actually a lot more sources out there. The Antigua Observer reported on an accident he had in 2021 here and then his return to the sport here; Antiguanice Yachting Insider reported on the then-15-year-old subject and his bid for the Olympics in 2017 here; Sail World and Caribbean Sailing covered when he won the 2020 Caribbean Foiling Championships and was called a "rising star in the Caribbean kitefoiling world" here and here; Antigua Newsroom covered him at 15 years old when he made history in qualifying for the Youth Olympics here; and the coverage continues. I'm wondering if a WP:BEFORE was done on this? --Kbabej (talk) 15:26, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete I do not see how the above mentions overcome now news and other issues. It is not really enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:02, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
