Contested PROD, non-notable tennis player who fails WP:NTENNIS and WP:NCOLLATH. Also fails WP:GNG as all the sources in the article are either self-published or WP:ROUTINE coverage of non-notable events. Also feels like this article was created by someone with a WP:COI to promote his coaching career. Iffy★Chat -- 09:04, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Don't delete - Passes WP:Routine winning national award for men's tennis player of the year along with winning national championship, notable tennis player. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tennischeck (talk • contribs) 16:24, 15 June 2020 (UTC) — Tennischeck (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Emir Hamzic is an all American national champion with viral recognition for accomplishments via youtube. (Sports35 (talk) 17:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC))— Sports35 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Confirmed sockpuppet of Tennischeck[reply]

• Don't delete - Sources are not self-published, credible. Page was harassed in previous edits seems as if page is being attacked in effort to sabotage, AFD notice came right after. Too harsh of a nomination considering coaching career was addressed slightly as the article is not focused on this but his achievement of winning a national title as a men’s tennis player.

• Delete - non-notable by all tennis standards. Also agree with COI feel. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Do not delete - Disagree with COI. Just like Brad Gilbert former professional American tennis player, Emir Hamzic also played for junior college winning a national championship under the “National Junior College Athletic Association” where he became an All American. Notable Tennis player by Amateur sports person: college athletes, Passes WP: Routine through national awards and championships.

• Delete - per nom. I cannot see anything notable about this individual. Youtube is not a reliable sourceVViking_TalkEdits 19:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Don’t delete - per nom, this individual is notable due to winning national championship, becoming an All American and receiving national award of 2017 NJCAA Division Tennis Player of the Year. (Tennischeck (talk) 20:02, 15 June 2020 (UTC))[reply]

*Stop deletion - I can recognize notability of Emir Hamzic and justify due to similar article “Brad Gilbert” who is also published in the encyclopedia for winning a junior college national championship achieving the status of All American.

I suspect a lot of gaming the system by the same sockpuppet user. If you are the same user, believe me it will be easily found out, your accounts will be blocked, and your votes will be removed. If that is the case i would self-remove them before that happens. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:21, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Fyunck(click): Way ahead of you on that. Iffy★Chat -- 21:25, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - per nom. Non-notable tennis player, and fails WP:GNG. --Wolbo (talk) 08:50, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - not notable, and sources would struggle to meet WP:RS. LizardJr8 (talk) 04:06, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Coverage seems to be routine sports reporting and I see no accomplishments that meet WP:NTENNIS. Being part of the pair that won second doubles at the national junior college division 3 tournament isn't enough to show notability as it isn't even close to competing at the highest level of college tennis.
