Delete per nomination, as subject does not meet WP:ATHLETE and, specifically, the related criteria WP:NKICK and WP:NMMA. -The Gnome (talk) 17:51, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair he is a judo player so WP:NKICK and WP:NMMA should not apply but WP:MANOTE does. Does not meet that either.PRehse (talk) 18:02, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He is currently ranked 7th in the world in his division by the IJF and finished 7th at last year's IJF world championships. In most sports those facts would be sufficient to meet WP:NSPORTS. Papaursa (talk) 23:53, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'll admit to being a bit confused. I have recently seen multiple editors support articles on a 9 year old boxer and a Dutch teenager who didn't finish in the top 100 of the world youth sailing championships, but I'm the only editor who thinks finishing 7th at the adult world judo championships and a #7 world ranking is notable? I'll grant you that his being Kazakh makes finding sources difficult, but the results seem to speak for themselves--especially when I look at the notability criteria for other sports (including martial arts sports like boxing and kickboxing).

Comment he's won a couple IJF events for his weight class. I have no idea if this is the highest level or not or what. WP:MANOTE is not very helpful here, and I don't know what else to base it on. My before search came up with judo-related articles, which makes sense. Lean keep. SportingFlyer talk 06:09, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
