Amir Mohammad Nekounam

Non-notable sport shooter. There is no sport-specific guideline for shooting sports, so general notability is the only guideline. The text of the article reads like a resume, and says nothing about secondary coverage. An article should speak for itself without reference to the sources, because most readers will not be looking at the sources. However, the references have been checked, and are only routine mentions that he competed in the events.

Delete Fails notability. he didn't win a major medal yet and didn't participate at the Olympics. the same goes to other articles this user is creating, or at least some of them. Mohammad Rasool Efati, Fatemeh Amini (sport shooter), Amir Siavash Zolfagharian, Sajjad Pourhosseini and Vahid Golkhandan. Sports2021 (talk) 11:10, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Because it doesn't have significant coverage. Fad Ariff (talk) 11:59, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete agree with nom and source assesment above. Oaktree b (talk) 02:11, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand. Why is a gold medal at the 2018 ISSF World Shooting Championships not an indication of notability? Drmies (talk) 18:49, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- He won a gold medal in the junior competition, I don't know if that's notable or not. just saying that wasn't a senior world championship medal. Sports2021 (talk) 22:32, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Keep. The resume seems notable enough; he participated in the 2019 Asian Championship and finished 17th in the individual competition for adults too, which you can see after you plow through this. These events in Asia are very poorly covered on Wikipedia; if these were Western competitions then most if not all of the medals would be bluelinked to a very specific section.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete per nom. Even if the medal is an indicator of notability, WP:SPORTSCRIT #5 makes it clear that we cannot keep any article on a sportsperson without at least one example of WP:SIGCOV, and there are none here. BilledMammal (talk) 06:50, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Passing mentions, particularly in junior events, do not contribute to notability. It doesn't matter whatsoever if editors think an equivalent event would get coverage if it was in the West; if it didn't receive coverage we do not cover it. JoelleJay (talk) 23:44, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
