Since this article has been speedily deleted twice, I have brought to AfD as I believe the subject fails notability for BLP and for Sports. The subject is a current world record holder but otherwise there is little coverage in independent reliable secondary sources, and according to WP:ONEEVENT holding a record is not enough in its own right.

Strong Keep - First of all, the practitioner in question is a three-time, not one, world record holder (one three separate occasions) and only one of a handful of Australian Wing Chun masters. I've added a number of sources to substantiate claims and the article in general. I should note that the requester for AfD has made serious strides to demoralize the article whenever possible - removing just about everything that was added under the false pretenses of "unsourced" or "inherent notability" (see the page history for details) even though some info was taken from the primary source (albeit not fully attributed).

Comment- As a BLP, the article needs to be appropriately sourced before I stubbifed it, it was a mess] that would have been speedied. I brought it to AfD because the article had previously been speedily deleted twice for copy vio. Rather than seeking to demonize the article I have attempted to eliminate the cycle of deletion and recreation. Flat Out let's discuss it 02:57, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think the subject passes WP:ANYBIO and WP:BASIC based on the extent and depth of reliable source coverage, for example this, this, and this. The world records would also seem to push this considerably past our inclusion threshold.- Mr X 04:27, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
