Seemingly non-notable kayaker. Notability is asserted in being a kayakking champion however a quick search shows no evidence of these victories, nor if these victories are notable in the first place. –– Lid^(Talk) 10:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Martin Wilberg

He is not the biggest kayaker, but he is stil a nordic champion in K2 500 and as a member of the youth national team, this shouldn't be deleted.

Here is a link for the Norwegian championship, wich proves one of the gold medals: [1]

[2] Here is another NM championship when he won in another class. Race number 29.

Delete. Not notable, even if he is a Nordic champion in some sort of kayaking competition (hasn't been sourced), that's still not very notable. JdeJ (talk) 21:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep.What if I temporarily delete waht is written about that he is a Nordic champion until I find the source. I've heard that he will soon eat lunch with the mayor of Asker becasue of this and maybe some local news papers will cover it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magnus Michaelsen (talk • contribs)

Keep. Actually, he is a very notable kayaker and i have seen him many times in the local news paper. MyTemple (talk) 08:43, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Delete Unable to verify he meets WP:ATHLETE. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 16:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete: "Local newspaper" is the key: this is a local figure who is not on an international venue, not a captain, etc. A young athlete, and there are many thousands of such the world over. Utgard Loki (talk) 17:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
