Maybe not enough for WP:NSPORTS, but maybe enough for GNG? Rlink2 (talk) 12:09, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tiger Tyson has a page on Olympedia. His place as a competitor and flagbearer for ANT at the 2018 Youth Olympics and this source should be enough for GNG.

Delete. As Olympedia attempts to cover every Olympian, coverage within it for Olympians is WP:ROUTINE and does not count towards notability. It is also not WP:SIGCOV in this case, being limited to stats. As no other WP:SIGCOV has been provided, GNG is not met and the article should be deleted.

Hello @BilledMammal. After looking for additional sources, I found more that I have listed below. Would you mind reviewing and seeing if that influences your !vote in any way? (Also - I am not the article creator and have never edited it. Just an AfD watcher). Thank you! --Kbabej (talk) 15:28, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Kbabej: but I see nothing in the extra sources provided that prove significant coverage enough for this person to pass WP:SIGCOV or WP:GNG. The Sail World reference is a passing mention, the Caribbean sailing reference just talks about him winning a race and qualifying for the Youth Olympics isn't up there with qualifying for the actual Olympics. There is no WP:NSPORT category for Kite surfing and WP:NOLYMPICS talks about being a medal winner. I'll still vote for delete.— NZFC^(talk)^(cont) 16:06, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough @NZFC! I appreciate you taking the time. Be well! --Kbabej (talk) 16:08, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are actually a lot more sources out there. The Antigua Observer reported on an accident he had in 2021 here and then his return to the sport here; Antiguanice Yachting Insider reported on the then-15-year-old subject and his bid for the Olympics in 2017 here; Sail World and Caribbean Sailing covered when he won the 2020 Caribbean Foiling Championships and was called a "rising star in the Caribbean kitefoiling world" here and here; Antigua Newsroom covered him at 15 years old when he made history in qualifying for the Youth Olympics here; and the coverage continues. I'm wondering if a WP:BEFORE was done on this? --Kbabej (talk) 15:26, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I do not see how the above mentions overcome now news and other issues. It is not really enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:02, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
