This is a borderline-WP:BLP1E about a teenager. Swimming the English Channel as a teenage is impressive, but doesn't meet WP:NSPORT. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:03, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Canta is the youngest Australian to have done it and he did for someone with brain cancer.Gulfzero Charlie (talk) 05:28, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Gulfzero Charlie[reply]

Actually, Ned Wieland is the youngest Australian male to swim the channel and he was almost 5 hours faster than Canta.[1] I couldn't find the youngest Australian female to do it. Swimming for someone else doesn't make him more notable. Papaursa (talk) 18:14, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure'. I cleaned up the stub a bit. Bearian (talk) 19:20, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete At best this is a clear case of WP:BLP1E. Swimming the English Channel does not confer automatic notability. It's an accomplishment to be proud of, just insufficient to grant WP notability. Papaursa (talk) 18:14, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
