Completing unfinished nom by User:Rtphokie. For some reason, Twinkle didn't finish the process; Twinkle has been acting very odd today. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 16:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete. What is the nominator's rationale? Besides, fourth is just barely out of notablity distance. Are there any other claims to fame?--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 19:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep International athlete who has competed at the World Championships. [1]. No reason given to delete this article. Catchpole (talk) 21:19, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep The article clearly states that she's an international athlete representing Ukraine and came fourth in the recent World Championships, a competition second only to the Olympics in athletics importance. Of course she's notable by Wikipedia standards. She's also European U23 champion in the event. There's no reason given to delete it as Catchpole points out, so why is this even up for debate? I note that the 'nominator' created an article on Dr. Davis (coach), a former head coach of the Virginia Tech college football program during the 1900 season - which is now also up for AfD. It seems strange that he believes Karsak to be the lesser of the two in terms of Athletic achievement. Nick mallory (talk) 23:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Actually it was the European Championship, but coming fourth there is still way over the bar for notability for athletes as described in WP:BIO: "played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports". Phil Bridger (talk) 10:32, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Notability enough for me. Sting_au Talk 12:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
