BLP of a college sportsman whose claim to notability is that he broke the Eritrean national record in his sport. I don’t think breaking individual country records establishes notability, especially when the athlete is not actually competing for their country. Mccapra (talk) 01:56, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. I disagree, I believe that breaking a national record in his sport at the age of 18 years old establishes notability, and the fact that there is only evidence of him competing in three complete seasons in his lifetime only adds to that claim. Being that at such a young age he is not only a division one athlete but also a national record holder in his event group should be enough to be considered "notable" within his sport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mekeletsege (talk • contribs) 05:20, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Sports articles must still meet GNG, regardless of how impressive an athlete's performance is. There does not appear to be SIGCOV of this individual from multiple independent, secondary, reliable sources. JoelleJay (talk) 20:28, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
