[edit] David Treacey

Last month BrownHairedGirl expressed a concern that this person may not be notable enough for Wikipedia purposes, I suppose because the only winnings by this person are in minor championships. I tried to search for reliable publications about this person and came up empty handed so she may have been on to something. No !vote from me either way, I just want to settle the issue rather than have a notability tag linger indefinitely. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 17:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment The reason you couldn't find any reliable publications is probably that the article actually misspells his name. Google "David Treacy" not "David Treacey", and you'll find some references. I would still lean towards delete though. He has yet to make an appearance at the top level and has won only underage competitions so far. Tameamseo (talk) 20:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as Occupation is listed as student. Me what do u want? Your Hancock Please 12:13, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: There's nothing about being a student that is an automatic bar to qualifying for a Wikipedia article, but it looks like Treacey has neither appeared in a fully professional league nor, failing that, at the highest level of amateur competition for his sport, thus failing WP:ATHLETE.  RGTraynor  14:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
