Seems to fail WP:BIO. If we look at the links provided, several definitely do nothing to establish notability. The video is irrelevant, since we rely on published sources. The facebook fan group also doesn't count, per WP:ELNO point 10. Neither do the official site (not independent) or the link to his sponsor (for obvious reasons). We're left with this, which notes that he once won third place in some competition, and this, where he suggests what women should eat in order to lose weight fast. Neither of these really establish his notability. Finally, there's this, noting that he's won 2nd, 4th and 11th place at something called Musclemania. The problem with this, and with the unsourced claim made in the article that he came in first, is twofold. First, there's no substantial coverage of him, only a mention of his placement. And second, we don't know what Musclemania is (well, one can find out, but I do wonder if it's a notable contest), and if coming in 2nd or 4th there actually means anything within his field. Finally, the entire text of the article lacks citations, so none of it can be verified to help establish notability. Biruitorul ^Talk 18:15, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per basic WP:ATHLETE. If MuscleMania can be proven to be a major professional competition though I might change my vote. -Drdisque (talk) 14:55, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
