Fails WP:NSPORT, WP:BIO, and WP:GNG. This young man qualified for a speed record in a highly obscure sport a year ago, but only managed to get local news coverage of it per WP:BLP1E, and has done nothing notable since. I don't think it's eligible for speedy deletion, as he did get an entry in Guinness World Records. However, in recent years GWR has become amusingly exhaustive in what it will include, and I can't find any other mention of knee-striking online. The edit history also suggests a conflict of interest. If an article ever does get written about knee-striking, then he would certainly merit a mention using the few reliable sources cited here, but there's not yet sufficient notability for a separate biography.
