• Hi,
  I have added more references to support the information given about the athlete. Most of the media articles are either in French or Arabic from Algerian media. I can add those to the references if they make sense. All statistics about Mohamed Ali Gouaned are from World Athletics's Official website, the official international athletic association that is maintaining all records and achievements by athletes worldwide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wansharissi (talk • contribs) 13:16, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  The athlete has won a silver medal at the Youth Olympics in 2018 and another silver medal at the African Youth Championships in 2019 both in 800 m. His main distances are 400 m and 800 m. He has so far the best time in 2021 on the 600 m for senior level [1] which is a big achievement for his age (he is only 18 years old). He is on the all-time best of the 800 meters for U18 athletes [2].

  The athlete has 3 more meetings in April 2021 and is expected to achieve the qualification time for the 800 meters in the Tokyo Olympics planned this Summer.

• Keep Subject does not fail WP:NSPORT because the subject has set a world record for under-20 athletes, which is listed in WP:NTRACK. The subject has also competed internationally and won medals at the Youth Olympics. SFB 01:50, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Good points, but, is 600 m main event? I could not verify his name from the list here 1 and also he won a silver medal, basically he needs a gold medal to meet requirements for WP:NTRACK. Sillyfolkboy. Regards --Kemalcan (talk) 05:58, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  @Kemalcan: The 600 metres is not a championship level event so it has world best status instead. Still, it's a notable achievement in my opinion. SFB 16:45, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Agree with Sillyfolkboys assesment subject passes WP:NSPORT for setting a world record for under-20 atheletes. which also got listed in WP:NTRACK. Namkongville (talk) 14:33, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. NTRACK is a subguideline of NSPORT, which explicitly presumes a subject will meet GNG but is not an alternative to GNG. Therefore, when notability is challenged, GNG should be demonstrated. WP:CRYSTAL assumptions of his qualifying for the Olympics, or personal belief that his achievements are notable, do not negate the requirement for BLPs to have strong sourcing.
