[edit] Alastair Heathcote
Non-notable person; the person's acheivements seem to be more trivial than anything, and hardly warrents his own article. ≈ The Haunted Angel 13:31, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - I would hardly call a medal at any notable world cup event (even if only a bronze) trivial. – Tivedshambo (talk) 13:34, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- Obvious Keep Won a bronze medal for Great Britain in the Rowing World Cup of 2007, so clearly passes the sporting notability criteria. Being a captain in the British Army and an international class rower isn't trivial, unless I suppose you're an admiral with the world hundred meters record under your belt. The Times certainly thinks he's notable, as there's a big feature and interview with him here [1]. He's now training with the British team for the Olympics next year.

- Keep, passes WP:BIO for athletes by competing at the highest level of his sport. --Dhartung | Talk 16:12, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- Strong keep, top-level athletes are automatically notable, especially if they win medals. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 19:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Competing at top level of rowing and winning a medal at the Rowing World Cup easily meets notability requirements. Davewild 08:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
