Appears to have never competed at the national open championship, world championships, or Olympics so he hasn't competed at the highest level as required by WP:ATHLETE. The collegiate championship he won is not from the NCAA but from the NCTA, he was on the coaching staff not the head coach for the University Games (and even being head coach wouldn't be enough to show notability), opening up your own school is not a sign of notability, nor is an article in the local paper.Mdtemp (talk) 16:35, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep give original editor chance to correct mistakes. Chunlinc (talk) 16:37, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not about correcting mistakes, it's about showing this person has the significant coverage required to show notability. Papaursa (talk) 18:08, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Time is not a valid deletion argument. There are several processes in place such as usefy, draft, AFC, and WP:REFUND that could be implemented if there was a reasonable argument for notability but the article needed further improvement. Mkdw ^talk 18:43, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete At first when I saw the article and it stated he won a US Collegiate Championship, I was going to !vote speedy keep. After looking into it, it's not part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association or even the United States Collegiate Athletic Association. NCTA is very small and there are larger competitions for martial arts competition at that level. WP:CHANCE speaks to speedy deletion and the article was already ineligible for A7. In conducting WP:BEFORE it wouldn't appear there was anything that would suggest this individual currently meets our inclusion policy. Considerations must be taken into place that when an article is created in the mainspace it's "published". I would have supported userify or move to the draft space but I find it very unlikely this person would meet our inclusion criteria unless a source comes forward with new information.

Delete Doesn't appear to meet WP:MANOTE or WP:ATHLETE and lacks the coverage to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 18:08, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
