Person who fails WP:ATHLETE, although it is not notable by Google search. ApprenticeFan talk  contribs 01:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete While he is a skilled athlete, he has only competed at the college level.    No prejudice against recreation if he goes on to compete at a high enough level to meet WP:ATHLETE. Edward321 (talk) 14:12, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. I think that a national champion, even at the collegiate level, is notable. Irbisgreif (talk) 15:04, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:ATHLETE states that "People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships" are notable. A national champion at amateur level (i.e. college) does not satisfy this requirement -- Cabe  6403  (Talk•Sign) 17:39, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. JJL (talk) 01:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Misreading of WP:ATHLETE above.  ATHLETE assumes notability if competing at highest amateur level, but does not imply that one can not be notable if one has not.  He has competed at EU championships and is a national champion.  Another bad assumption above - that he only competes at college level because that was the first link found.

 * Delete per Cabe6403 (I don't feel like rephrasing what he so eloquently already wrote). JBsupreme (talk) 07:27, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

 * If the article is correct, it should be kept. -- Y not? 01:49, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Arguably the second to best swimmer in Israel (won a Silver at the 2009 Maccabiah Games) so he's probably notable in Israel.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 05:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Cabe6403. The Maccabiah is essentially a Jewish Commonwealth Games that is the highest amateur level of a sport in Israel. I think medalists deserve mention. --Shuki (talk) 08:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
