A Sprinter. Fails WP:NTRACK... No medals at senior or junior level, no senior level wins and no world records. Only find routine coverage of track events and local coverage. No reliable, independent references that talk about him outside of the local level. Prod was contested by, "since he's #2 on the US HS All-Time list, world junior leading by a mile, and about to compete at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics, he meets WP:ATHLETE in my eyes." My retort would be Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and he hasn't yet to receive a medal in the Championships. Also, this is the same case as the recently deleted Articles for deletion/DaBryan Blanton. If he medals, the page can be re-created. Bgwhite (talk) 19:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. WP:NTRACK is pretty clear, and he's not close to achieving any of those athletics-related criteria. And beyond athletics, the article provides nothing whatsoever to establish notability for any other reason. Dybeck (talk) 20:08, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Fair assessment, when he medals it will meet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph Steven (talk • contribs) 20:10, 3 June 2012 (UTC)  Striking !vote by sock puppet of banned editor MooshiePorkFace --Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:09, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is somewhat similar to Houston McTear, Jeff Demps, Roy Martin, Alan Webb, or Michael Granville. None of these guys won a medal anywhere, but they hold (or held) a top spot on the US High School record list. And before some smarty-pants throws WP:OSE at me, I'm just trying to draw parallels, to clarify the significance of track achievements to people unfamiliar with athletics. --bender235 (talk) 22:13, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Compromise proposal: Since the 2012 WJCA is only a month away, can't we just keep the article for now and afterwards decide whether to keep it, instead of deleting it now and then re-creating it only a month later? --bender235 (talk) 22:17, 3 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Doesn't meet the criteria for track athletes at this time. A request to undelete the article in the future is always possible if justified. -- Whpq (talk) 19:17, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
