NN athlete, no evidence he meets the GNG, fails WP:NTRACK. Ravenswing 08:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep As a competitor at the World Championships in Athletics, in addition to the previously mentioned Commonwealth Games, he clearly passes WP:NTRACK. I added sources. Nominator apparently fails WP:BEFORE again. Internal wikilnks point directly at evidence of notability, if he would open his eyes. I suggest this nomination be terminated immediately.

- Withdrawing nomination. I relied on the IAAF page previously linked, which as the sport's sanctioning body one would hope it would have had accurate information. As far as "internal wikilnks" [sic] go, you were the one who added those after the nomination, so I'm at a loss to how I would've consulted links that weren't there. I'd recommend that you be less insulting next time, but a glance at your talk page shows frequent reprimands (and at least one block) for incivility, so that would be pretty pointless.

- Consider this instructional, which is why I am posting on the public AfD page. Other people can learn from this too. If you enter a name into a wikipedia search, it will show you the article in bold on top. Below it will show you all other uses of that name. Yes, I added a direct wikilink to the World Championship article, but his name as a participant in the World Championships always existed posted 17 September 2005. This is why I am irate. You didn't try or you would have found it. This information is also first page google, there is no social media blocking or obscuring it, no 10 layer deep search. We have WP:BEFORE as a policy for a reason, so we don't have needless AfD's opened. The point is to make wikipedia better. You as an experienced editor could have googled this name, fixed the problems, maybe even have found the other cute mention about the minibus interrupting the Kiribati national trials (obviously just a few guys racing on a road on that small island) and made the article better. Instead you rushed through and nominated what, a dozen articles for deletion Were all of those nominations as thoughtless as this one? You know what you are doing. Use your knowledge and experience for good, not evil. Trackinfo (talk) 16:53, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
