Comment. If he did win a world championship in his sport then he would be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source me. I've looked. SportingFlyer T·C 21:13, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not terribly hard, it would seem. [1] [2] [3] [4]. -- Necrothesp (talk) 00:26, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So, Keep. -- Necrothesp (talk) 00:26, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Although the sourcing of the article isn't great, Necrothesp did find some sources that are reliable and confirm Osborne was a world champion. Papaursa (talk) 14:08, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: per Necrothesp. I likewise think that the sourcing is shaky, but the fact that the subject was a world champion is a definite indicator of notability. Ravenswing 17:02, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
