Comment. It seems that the whole notability question turns on whether being a silver medalist at the China International (badminton) qualifies the subject under Criterion 3 of WP:NBADMINTON. I don't know whether it does or it doesn't. But this nomination is showing up on the Article Alerts at the Badminton Project, so perhaps one of their members will come on by to let us know.

~~Keep Appears to satisfy WP:NBADMINTON #3 as the tournament is one of those listed in BWF Super Series.~~ Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:11, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But it isn't listed there. That article mentions the China Masters and the China Open (badminton), neither of which is the same tournament as the China International (badminton). NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:04, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Upon a second look, you're right. The tournament he actually competed in is listed as being part of the BWF International Challenge, which is called a "level 4" tournament although the sport's ranking system seems to consider it even lower in preference. In any event, he has obviously not competed at the top level of his sport, as I had previously assumed, and therefore I must change my opinion to Delete. Thank you for pointing out my error.
