The result was keep. Though the consensus is to keep this article, it is an unsourced biography of a living person. Therefore, I will be redirecting this article to FIBT_World_Championships_2011#Skeleton. Please do not revert this action without adding sources.

Delete - He has not competed in the Winter Olympics, so does not meet WP:ATHLETE, nor does he meet the WP:GNG. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 20:56, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Yes he does meet WP:ATHLETE, because he has competed at the World Championships, the highest level of competition in the sport, which also acts as Winter Olympic Games in non-Olympic years. As per Wikipedia's own guidelines, Sportspeople who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.161.170 (talk) 21:10, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As the IP above says, Tress meets WP:NSPORTS because he has competed at the World Championships. This can be verified here. Jenks24 (talk) 09:43, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
