Comment: he is a World Championships silver medalist in a small sport. He meets WP:SPORTCRIT and the information isn't slanderous or anything like that. Would it be easier on the subject if the picture was deleted? Geschichte (talk) 18:28, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep his wins make him notable. Nothing slanderous about the article and the photo is an "action shot" of him. Oaktree b (talk)

Comment @Ritchie333: if this is per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE then please can the details of the actual request be given? Chumpih. (talk) 07:27, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Chumpih, See here. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:12, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks Ritchie333. Suspect the next step should be to get someone to attest that this is a valid request. Let's see what we can do. Chumpih. (talk) 18:26, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Had no joy via an email to an Oversighter. The oversighter indicated that it's not possible to infer user identiy from the IP address alone. So without some other validation, I don't see how we can treat this request as legitimate. I'm unsure how to proceed. Chumpih. (talk) 12:50, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - we don't actually know that the request is from the article's subject . I would urge caution in deleting it. This request may be from a hostile source so any judgment should be solely based on standard notability assessments. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 16:44, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree that this could be risky. @Velella: if some Admin or similar were to attest that this is a legitimate request, would you be satisfied with the deletion? Chumpih. (talk) 18:26, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would rate this article as marginally notable but its loss would not be significant for Wikipedia or the sport. If this is a genuine request, I would judge that we should defer to the subject's own wish. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 21:16, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable as a world championship silver medalist and European championship gold medalist. The IP could be anyone. If it is the subject, then the only "sensitive data" there is the date of birth, which could easily be removed. -- Pawnkingthree (talk) 20:23, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now - As someone who requested my own article to be deleted, I sympathize. However, I also requested it myself and presented why I wanted it deleted. Thankfully, the community agreed and it was deleted. At this point, we have no clue why he wants it deleted. He is clearly a notable person who qualifies for an article and as other have stated, there is nothing weird or worrisome about the article from a reader perspective. But, for now, I do not know why he wants this article deleted, so until then, I say keep. Very open minded in the future if the community is provided more insight. Missvain (talk) 04:47, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Like Missvain, I had to request deletion of an article about me. In this case, we do not have sufficient information to conclude that this request is either genuine or well-founded. Cullen328 (talk) 01:54, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, unless it can be verified that the request is genuine then it should be kept. Suonii180 (talk) 00:21, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
