The result was speedy keep. Clearly meets WP:BIO, and the nominator doesn't even support deletion. If you want to discuss notability in general, please use the talk page. --Wafulz 18:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is this curler notable enough? I think so, but I wanted to see what the people think. Weak keep at the moment. --Nlu (talk) 16:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong, somewhat obvious keep Maybe I'm biased because I love curling, but anyone who's won a medal at the yearly world championships of a pretty big sport is certainly notable per WP:BIO, as Gibson is very clearly a sportsperson who has played at the highest competitive level of his sport. -- Kicking222 17:30, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep I'm no expert on curling but by his credentials he seems to be reasonably notable in the curling world. HamishMacBeth 17:30, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep - Clearly satisfies athletic criteria for WP:Bio. → bobby← 17:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
