Subject is certainly not "world kickboxing champion", googling for the subject reveals that he appears to be a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and former medal holder in over-40s blue belt competition. Non-notable, with no reliable secondary sources. Pathless 09:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep but especially expand, it really needs some expansion for career and other bio info.--JForget 19:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep - does need to be expanded of course. Couldn't possibly delete such a distinguished sporting figure surely? --Letterkennyboi 20:40, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep, as world champion he's notable per precedent set for other athletes. -- Steve Hart 15:48, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment But in which discipline is the subject "world champion"? The only information I was able to find came from a martial arts forum - hardly a reliable secondary source - and here, details were very sketchy. There are no reliable sources indicating the notability of the subject. If he really were world kickboxing champion, this would be a straightforward issue. Can anyone find reliable sources outlining the subject's achievements? Pathless 21:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
