Will Weinbach

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of any notability. A potentially rising tennis star - but not yet there. Has appeared on TV commentating on tennis, Has started You Tube channels. None of this equates to notability. From the plethora of references, most are interviews or very local or niche sources. The Buzzfeed bit he wrote himself. Written as a draft but moved directly to mainspace without review. Nothing here approaches notability. As would be expected, nothing more. or of any notability appears in searches. Reads like an autobiography. Fails WP:GNG.

 * Comment Fails WP:NTENNIS by such a huge margin that describing him as a "professional tennis player" is an insult to actual professional tennis players. His notability stems from his other activities, but as I don't know enough about whether the sources in the article are good enough for WP:GNG or some other notability standard, I won't !vote here.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: The fact that this article is even under review is disgusting. Will Weinbach has appeared for commentating on ESPN, has been featured on the Ryan Seacrest Show, ABC, and other national outlets. He has over 600k followers on social media. The notability is obviously there. There are also 18 references, which are enough to prove his notability. The interviews recorded are also on a national level with some of the most successful people in the world, Rafael Nadal (#1 tennis player in the world), Dustin Johnson (#1 golfer in the world). He also has a wikipedia page in Spanish as well, because the notability was there and has been featured nationally tens of times.

 * Comment: He's clearly not notable as a tennis player. Mostly just want to note in the above comment the Spanish-language wikipedia article mentioned above was created at about the same time as the current article. SportingFlyer (talk) 08:08, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lack of indepth coverage for GNG. D4iNa4 (talk) 17:14, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Not notable in the least for tennis. That tennis infobox should be removed. Whether he is notable for something else i leave to others, but if he's only here because of his tennis prowess then DELETE. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:46, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
