George McKenzie (wrestler)

Hi i hope i'm doing this right. came across this article when going thru the cleanup needed category. i added a "prod" tag to this article and someone then endorsed it before it was removed , so now I am nominating for deletion. I can find one or tow hits for a wrestler named George McKenzie or George MacKenzie on google but thats the extent of the hits. If there are sources like the person who removed the prod says there are, then their certainly not evident to me! the aritcle claims to know where he lived, who knows if thats accurate. anyway what are your thoughts?

Keep - I was the one who removed the {{prod}}. MacKenzie is clearly a major figure in a major sport & the fact that he competed in five Olympics is easily sourced, and the proposed prod reason ("no sources; no hope for being expanded; google search does not bring up any non-trivial results for a wrestler named George MacKenzie or George McKenzie") is patently ridiculous since any list of British wrestling champions or Olympic competitors clearly shows him. I agree it needs expanding and rewriting but that's a reason to expand and rewrite, not delete. I have, however, already renamed the article prior to this AfD as his name was spelt incorrectly in the title - the current page is now at George Mackenzie (wrestler). The incorrect spelling of his name may have accounted for the lack of Ghits originally. — iridescenti (talk to me!) 12:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well put the sources in the article then man! theres nothing at all "patently ridiculous" about it because right now theres nothing that substantiates it! thanks—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Irreverent Juggalo (talk • contribs).— Irreverent Juggalo (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep Even if he only competed in a single Olympics, that is enough to satisfy WP:BIO as it relates to athletes - Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports. I'm not sure how he could be more notable. The Olympics are the the highest level in regards to ameteur sports. --Cyrus Andiron 13:01, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I've added the references given above to the article. Finding and adding them took all of five minutes; probably less time than it took the (spa) nominator to set up this AfD — iridescenti (talk to me!) 13:28, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly notable. IronDuke 13:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I want to withdraw the nominating now that sources have actually been added — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14:46, 27 April 2007 (talk • contribs) Irreverent Juggalo
