Was deprodded with the following rationale: " Inidividual is independently covered, 2nd place for Francis Pomeroy Naismith award passes WP:NCOLLATH". However, that is not what WP:NCOLLATH says, it clearly says "Have won a national award" (my emphasis). Other than that, this is borderline, but not, imo, notable.

- Delete. It is rare to find a sportsperson that fails our super-inclusive notability criteria for that profession, but as the nom notes, this one does fail it. So - delete. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:20, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
