Comment. Being recognized as good enough to compete at the Olympics, even though he didn't, is pretty good. I added references to confirm wrestling matches that he participated in in the United States and one about his current employment as interim director of YMCA Armenia. He way also have competed at other international competitions, as is common for most Olympic athletes, but I couldn't find any references. I think all these things add up to notability.

Keep Still a notable professional athlete, and was still qualified enough to compete.--Seacactus 13 (talk) 01:38, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
leaning delete - I think this is likely a gray area for WP:NATHLETE and WP:NOLY. Clearly skilled enough to meet these, but not appearing in the olympics means that they don't. As he doesn't meet these, we have to fall back to WP:GNG, which they fail. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:28, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
