Non-notable wrestler, attending events does not establish notability. Peter Rehse (talk) 13:46, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - Meets WP:SPORTCRIT multiple times over which states "[t]he guidelines on this page are intended to reflect the fact that sports figures are likely to meet Wikipedia's basic standards of inclusion if they have, for example, participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level (such as the Olympics)." Bisek has competed at three world championships and one world cup. In addition, he won a bronze medal at the 2014 World Championships. RonSigPi (talk) 14:32, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Another example of an AfD that annoys me. First, he has been to multiple world championships and the article makes that clear. Second, he was a world bronze medalist. While the article at the time of the AfD didn't state this, typing 'Andy Bisek' in Google yields this information in the titles of the first page of hits (i.e., you don't even have to click on any of the results - its right there on the search result titles). Probably in less time than it took to make the AfD one could have found this out and added this information to the article. Not like this appeared to be a completely irrelevant person from the face of the article. As usual, instead of working to make Wikipedia better and improving articles (a positive action) there is a rush to delete without doing due diligence (a negative action). Sorry for the rant, but wanted to vent. RonSigPi (talk) 14:38, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A bronze medal at the world championships is sufficient to show notability. Papaursa (talk) 00:44, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
