On notability grounds. This article was a self-authorship - none of the championships appear to be notable. Peter Rehse (talk) 22:08, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This appears to be an autobiography with no independent sources to meet WP:GNG. None of the championships he won are sourced and I couldn't find him mentioned at the WAKO or IFMA (amateur Muay Thai organization) websites--except for a listing at the 2001 WAKO world amateur championships (when he would have been a junior at 17) showing he finished 2nd of 2 competitors in a Muay Thai division. That doesn't show notability nor does his undocumented IFMA results since WP:KICK says "Kickboxers that have an amateur background exclusively are not considered notable unless the person has been the subject examined in detail (more than a single paragraph) in several reliable third-party sources (at least four), excluding local publications." That essentially means he needs to meet WP:GNG and he clearly doesn't, at least as far I can tell. Papaursa (talk) 18:33, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. We can't demotivate the young aspiring athlete by putting up article in him yet. Needs room for achievements) Ukrained2012 (talk) 09:34, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No significant independent coverage. Most sources are primary or don't mention him and title claims are all unsupported. Even if he did win those titles, he doesn't appear to meet WP:KICK. Mdtemp (talk) 17:06, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
