Tagged for speedy, but he did have some achievements, as shown in the article. It was only five minutes old when tagged so perhaps a German speaker could add more content. Punkmorten (talk) 12:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. Is this really a nom? The sources provided provide enough notability to pass WP:ATHLETE, although I would like to see some more secondary sources in general.--Nsevs • Talk 15:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Athletes-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 23:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Definitely passes WP:ATHLETE. Just needs expansion.--Fabrictramp (talk) 23:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • For the record, I say keep. Punkmorten (talk) 13:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
    • So, can that be interpreted as a withdrawal of the nomination? --Nsevs • Talk 14:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
    • I'm sorry, I've just realized that maybe my comments aren't so clear. I have just been confused this whole time because it seems to me that an AFD nom is essentially an opinion that the article should be deleted. The language in the nom seemed neutral at worst, and now the "keep vote" just makes me scratch my head... If you thought the page was a keeper, why list it on AFD? --Nsevs • Talk 14:12, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Because someone attempted to speedy it, and while I whole-heartedly disagreed with that, I thought it could be ok to discuss the issue. Punkmorten (talk) 17:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm sure the nominator meant well, but it really is a waste of valuable time that could be spent on editing to bring an article to AfD that you don't think should be deleted. If you find a speedy deletion tag on an article which you don't think merits deletion then simply remove it quietly. The speedy deletion nominator can bring it to AfD if the removal of the tag is contested. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Clearly meets notability requirements for athletes. Edward321 (talk) 19:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
