• Keep - competing at World Junior level satisfies WP:ATHLETE. Ivanvector (talk) 02:33, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no it doesn't, criterion 2 specifically says "People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships.". LibStar (talk) 03:09, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The World Junior Championship is the highest level available to junior athletes. Are you suggesting all junior athletes should be automatically excluded? Ivanvector (talk) 06:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

yes this precedent already exists in WP. if they are good enough they should translate over the highest level amateur. LibStar (talk) 06:04, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete "Junior Level" is not the "highest amateur level". In any case it fails the general notability guideline of significant coverage in reliable sources.--Pontificalibus (talk) 15:29, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
