No evidence of meeting WP:BIO, I couldn't find any reliable sources on google to back the claims in the article, thus fail WP:V as well, article was kept the first time primarily with faulty rationales, and lack of discussion Delete Secret ^account 19:30, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article fails WP:ATHLETE on its own: he is portrayed as an "amateur", which goes against, "People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis;" or "People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships." On another side, Ghits and Gnews hits are extremely lacking, and I can't find any reliable secondary sources which discuss him. Fails both WP:N and WP:ATHLETE.
