Found while clearing out CAT:CSD. Deletion reason was -- non-notable wrestler (another one) This is not a valid speedy deletion reason, therefore I nominated this to afd. Opinions on what to do with this? No Stance —— Eagle (ask me for help) 03:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. First line states he's a wrestler for Irish Whip Wrestling, which, based on the article we have on them, appears to be notable. Sportsmen for notable organizations are notable themselves. - Mgm|(talk) 11:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Mgm. Sharkface217 05:09, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment according to WP:BIO regarding sportspeople/athletes/competitors: "Third party verification from a non-trivial publication outside of publications by sponsors of the sport or activity should be provided to demonstrate that the subject is widely recognized—meeting the first criteria—as performing in a fully professional league or at the highest level." --Chondrite 20:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Per his myspace page, [[1]], he considers himself a trainee wrestler. He reports having had about 40 matches to date. He's only 20; he may be heavyweight champeen of the world someday, but for now, non-notable. Deltopia 00:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:BIO states that a sportsman (among other criteria) must have competed at the highest level of his sport, and this wrestler is not even close. -- Kicking222 14:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete COI article mostly written by User:Jc williams. NawlinWiki 18:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Appears not notable. (It's not true that competitors for notable sports organizations are themselves notable. The standard for football teams is that they be from the top 10 levels of the English game, but players must have played in the top four divisions.) -- Bpmullins | Talk 23:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - trainee and/or part-time wrestler who is not notable. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 22:11, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete No independent sources found equals no encyclopedic notability. (See WP:BIO, WP:INDY.)GRBerry 01:59, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
