A day ago, I redirected this page. Apparently someone mentioned something about WP:BEFORE, so this is why I'm doing this AFD. Back on point, this person is not notable. He has only participated in 2 games, and plus the North Hills dentist citation isn't even related. Cranloa12n (talk) 20:11, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets WP:GNG with all the sources I added this morning. The wrestler and the denist are the same person, per his obit (ref #3), confirmed with his Olympedia bio. The latter also states he was a three-time NCAA champ, and won a gold medal at the 1951 Pan American Games too. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 20:14, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, being an NCAA champ thrice would meet WP:NCOLLATH. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:38, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
don't think that's just a comment. Sounds like a keep arguement. Cranloa12n (talk) 23:00, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Then Keep, meets NCOLLATH and GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:14, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Pan-Am gold medalist, Olympic athlete, National Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee. WP:GNG met, and notability clearly established. GaryColemanFan (talk) 23:10, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Won the NCAA wrestling championship six straight years (1952-1957), inducted into HOF, and thus passes WP:NCOLLATH. See here. Also passes WP:GNG with abundant SIGCOV. See, e.g., [1], [2], [3], [4]. Cbl62 (talk) 01:55, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cranloa12n: Please consider withdrawing this one as it's not even close. Cbl62 (talk) 02:15, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

no how would you even "withdraw" Cranloa12n (talk) 02:21, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You just edit your nomination -- or specifically, add a comment immediately under your nom -- to say "withdrawn", perhaps with a brief indication of why. It's often considered the classy thing to do when you realize a nomination is, in hindsight, in error or generally doomed, so as to avoid more people spending time on it unnecessarily. Or someone else prematurely closing it on your behalf, per the multiple 'speedy keeps'. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 18:32, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - ridiculous nomination, and if the nominator does not even know how to withdraw he has no business being on AfD. St Anselm (talk) 03:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. Meets multiple notability guidelines, seems to have been a complete failure to do any kind of WP:BEFORE. The fact that the nominator is proposing articles like this and Harry E. Luther for deletion while writing stuff like Project Nightfall themselves suggests they need to get a much better understanding of notability policies before any more involvement in deletion discussions. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 04:12, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep I wish all AfDs were this easy and clear cut. Papaursa (talk) 05:01, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If the nominatored AfDed some more we might end up with a few decent articles. Nigej (talk) 05:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. Though not too many, hopefully -- it might work as Target Article of the Day by stealth, but if we just AfD'd all our stubs at once, get a little out of hand, a little quickly. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 18:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You do realize that reply violates WP:Civility right? Cranloa12n (talk) 02:25, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - yeah, fair few references here to indicate this one meets notability. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:13, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep following the impressive expansion and sourcing effort applied in the last couple of days. Doesn't quite meet the NOLYMPIC threshold -- though as a Panamerican Games gold-medalist, is very much NSPORT-adjacent -- but now clearly meets GNG. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 18:43, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets GNG. Cassiopeia talk 03:54, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
