The result was no consensus. Not a strong consensus in either direction at this point in time. Could be re-nominated, for another discussion about it, at some later point in the future. -- Cirt ( talk) 03:28, 12 September 2010 (UTC) reply
I created this in February, with the mistaken belief that meeting WP:ATHLETE guaranteed meeting WP:GNG. With the benefit of twice as much experience as I had then, I now know that is not the case. Having pondered this for several weeks, I have decided to nominate it for deletion, and indeed to argue that it should be deleted. The subject fails WP:BLP, (specifically WP:BLP1E) and the general notability guideline. By extension, he cannot be kept under WP:NSPORTS, which is a junior to those respective policies and guidelines. -- W F C-- 16:55, 3 September 2010 (UTC) reply
This guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sportsperson, sports league, or an amateur/professional sports league organization will meet the general notability guideline, and thus merit an article in Wikipedia. The article must provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the criteria. It is not enough to make vague claims about the person's importance—the sourcing in the article itself must document notability.
