[edit] Alfred Moussambani, Gibrilla Bangura

This is a block nomination for two sprinters from African countries. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Casnel Bushay for precedence.

These two athlete substubs was created in connection to the 2006 Commonwealth Games, where they participated without even reaching the semi finals. Except for this mere participation at the 2006 Commonwealth Games these athletes have achieved nothing, thus falling below the notability bar. No Olympic participation, nothing, and believe me, I have searched for ways to expand the article (see for instance this diff for Fijian sprinter Jone Delai), but when an athlete hasn't even won a medal at his respective regional championships (in this case: the Central African Championships or the West and North African Championships) it's just not enough to warrant inclusion here.

• Delete Moussambani and Bangura, their PB is 7% and 5% outside the WR and nothing else sticks out. ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! 07:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this is not Eric Moussambani. Just zis Guy you know? 09:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Alfred is no relation to The Eel MLA 09:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep both, based on Commonwealth particpation. I think retention is supported by a reasonable interpetation of WP:BIO. The odd AFD doesn't outweight WP:BIO. --Rob 12:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. It isn't as if they participated in the Olympics or any world championships. RGTraynor 16:58, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • It is a major international competition though. --Rob 17:03, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
