[edit] Mike Thomas

Delete fails to meet WP:NN, WP:BIO, and WP:V. Non-notable individual winning a non notable contest. No sources leading to notability of individual. Strothra 01:37, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Ah, the prestigious World Marble Championship. Right. Delete. RidG -T- 01:50, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Marbles is an important emerging sport! -- Librarianofages 02:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. --Coredesat talk 04:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete. The competition is of no great note, but the article does cite its sources - which must be worth some kind of award. Black-Velvet 13:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Comment The article does not cite its sources. Simply because there is an external links section does not mean that any of the information in the article is derived from them. For instance, neither link mentions anything concerning the subject of the article, Mike Thomas.--Strothra 16:11, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Right. K then, that's a sharp learning curve. I didn't check that - how embarassing. Black-Velvet 07:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Meets WP:BIO as Sportspeople/athletes who are at the highest level in mainly amateur sports. It could use expansion. I verified the references myself. It's legit. Ste4k 19:56, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment if it's kept it should probably be protected and an alarm set on it every year to check on next years. Perhaps National Marble Championship would be a better idea. Ste4k 20:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
