Subject does not appear to meet the Notability (sport) requirements, particularly those reserved for High School sports people; High school and pre-high school athletes are notable only if they have received, as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is (1) independent of the subject and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage. Note that the first clause would exclude all school papers and school websites along with most sport specific publications. The second clause excludes the majority of local coverage, especially game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews E. Fokker (talk) 19:49, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Appears to be a vanity page. No indication of martial arts notability. Much of the article is on his father and instructors and notability is not inherited. Claim of being undefeated in "backyard amateur exhibition fights" is meaningless and participation in a teenage division of the first event of a new grappling organization also fails to show notability.

Speedy delete I agree with the previous posters. The organization appears to be a very small local organization--how else do you fight as both a beginner and expert in the same event and fight the same guy twice? At best he appears to be the second or third best teenage wrestler in a town of 1300. Astudent0 (talk) 13:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No evidence this is anything but a vanity page--no notability or reliable sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.118.229.17 (talk) 22:27, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
