Ex-holder of two Guinness World records, with no any other achievements whatsover. His article on ru.wikipedia has been deleted twice for lack of any national achievements [1]. Materialscientist (talk) 01:48, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I don’t think someone who at some point held two Guinness World Records in something obscure should have a Wikipedia page. There was also a lot of misinformation regarding his kick-boxing career. Claims were made such as Pavel was a 10 time champion of his region and 2 time champion of Russia. It’s impossible to find online sources whether it be some kind of news website, record page or a video that showcases any of that. His Russian Wikipedia page was already deleted for the same reason that Pavel simply has no reliable sources and doesn’t meet the criteria to even be considered as an actual athlete. Allegedly his kick-boxing achievements only consist of some wins that Pavel had when he was younger than 15 years old according to Russian Wikipedia delete discussion [2].

Delete - if bro is notable as a record-setter, then ig the relevant page listing the title holders should list him but it does not seem like bro is notable enough on 'is own, aye WesSirius (talk) 16:49, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the link for the first reference is broken, and I doubt the source's reliability because it is an interview. Apart from the Guiness record, Trusov has no awards or official titles. IMHO, he does not meet general WP criteria or those for WP:ATHLETE. ThegaBolt (talk) 17:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't believe that these Guinness records are enough to show WP notability. A long time ago these was a discussion about Guinness world records in the martial arts and they were deemed to generally not show notability (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Martial arts/archive 16#Do world records confer notability?). More importantly, there is little significant independent coverage of the records or Trusov and no indication that Trusov has ever been close to showing notability as a kickboxer. There's nothing to show he meets any WP notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 23:55, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
