Fails WP:NSKATE; medal placement at the junior level or bronze/silver medals at the senior-level national championships explicitly do not meet the requirements of WP:NSKATE. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:18, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Seems like another poor nomination. WP:SIGCOV in GoldenSkate, Star-Phoenix, Globe and Mail, etc. JTtheOG (talk) 17:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:NSKATE isn't a minimum standard that every biographical Wikipedia article of a skater must meet; it's guidance to help identify when Significant coverage is likely to exist. Furthermore, I'm not seeing where, as OP claims, junior-level medal placement or bronze/silver placement at the senior level explicitly do not meet (italics added) WP:NSKATE. NSKATE doesn't say anything about such placements, certainly not anything like 'a skater who places in bronze or silver at a national championship is not notable'. The general notability guideline holds that notability is established by coverage in secondary sources, not by the perceived eminence of accomplishments. The significant coverage JTtheOG identifies establishes the topic's notability. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 07:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
