Article fails WP:ATHLETE. In addition, I haven't found any sources that provide more than incidental coverage of the subject (game recaps, stat lists, etc.). Cptmurdok (talk) 19:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

 * The following are sources that reference the subject in a manner that are from secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.  After reading the discussion on Athletes, I find it incredulous that the people on that thread can somehow determine what level of athletics is notable and what isn't.  The general notability guidelines seem like the correct place to go to judge notability...but what I can't seem to figure out is how if local/national/international media feel the subject is noteworthy enough to report on, the editors at Wiki somehow know better and presume themselves to be better judges of notability when it relates to athletics than those who cover the field for their vocation.

From the 1999-2000 CCIW preview.

Senik started every game for Wheaton at the point guard spot last season, leading the team with an average of four assists per game. Senik also added 9.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Harris says of Senik, "Travis Senik is a winner, it is that simple. He does everything that helps us win Championships. He handles the ball effectively, regardless of pressure. He knows who to get the ball to and when. He is also without a doubt our best and most versatile defender." http://www.d3hoops.com/previews/00/mwestmen.htm

Senik was Athlete of the Week according to a little read paper called the LA Times. http://articles.latimes.com/1996-04-16/news/ss-59267_1_county-athlete

 * Delete, being a star high school or Division III college player doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:11, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Never played professional sports on any level... has local notability only. Spanneraol (talk) 20:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:ATHLETE. Not only did the subject not play professionally, but Div III is the lowest-level of NCAA college athletics in the US.  caknuck °  needs to be running more often  06:58, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
