I do not believe that this athlete meets the notability criteria. Malleus Fatuorum 22:13, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - He meets WP:ATHLETE as somebody competing at the top level of his sport. The Fédération Internationale de Natation website ranking page doesn't allow for linking to results but a check of the short course 100m butterfly for men 2009/2010 shows him currently ranked 66.  Furthermore, this article identifies him as the Asian champion. -- Whpq (talk) 15:31, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment Actually, what WP:ATHLETE says is top-level - usually considered Olympics and world championships. THAT he doesn't meet.  OTOH, he not only competed Asia-wide, he won (apparently), so I suppose he likely does count.  OT3H, the Chinese news article's English is shaky enough that I'd like confirmation that he was actually crowned Asian champion somewhere... David V Houston (talk) 01:09, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per the assumption that he was too young to compete in the 2008 olympics. His placing in the Asian games suggests he is one of the top butterfliers in China, which would likely denote notability. -Drdisque (talk) 04:55, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
