Coverage is routine and/or local--not enough to meet GNG. Losing in the round of 64 is not enough to show notability. Even with that performance he will not be ranked in the top 60 by the WTF in the 78 kg division.Mdtemp (talk) 18:25, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Media coverage of him almost exclusively consists of passing mentions. Fails the relevant notability guidelines. APerson (talk!) 18:48, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The coverage fails GNG and just competing at the world championships isn't enough for notability--there are about 1500 at each year's TKD world championships (16 divisions, round of 128).Astudent0 (talk) 21:59, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with the previous comments. I don't believe that simply appearing at a world championship is sufficient to show notability and I think he lacks the coverage necessary to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 02:28, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In some cases, WTF being one of them, it is more of a festival than a world championship. Literally anyone can go although some countries do select squads they are not necessarily their best. Notable if you medal, even the top 16.Peter Rehse (talk) 07:51, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
