[edit] Tommy Thacker
Does not meet WP:BIO. Nearly nominated for speedy deletion. In the world of shooting, this type of record is not notable. See Rob Leatham or Jerry Miculek for examples of notablility. Mrand 13:17, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep: OK, I don't know much about shooting, but first place seems good to me. The article could use a rewrite and some reference, but I say "Keep" it. - NeutralHomer T:C 15:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I understand why placing first in a certain category in regional competitions justifies keeping the article, but I'm open to the possibility. Mrand 18:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- I am guessing (again, I know nothing about shooting) but I guess "first place" means the guy won those competitions. I could be wrong, I honestly know nothing about shooting, but if the guy did win those competitions, then that is pretty notable. I think the article could use a rewrite and some references to confirm some of those wins. Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 02:25, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. I'm assuming good faith in User:Mrand's claim that "this type of record is not notable". This guy may be a damn fine shooter, but he still seems to fail WP:BIO. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 16:04, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- While I appreciate the good faith, it is not necessary in this instance. To get an idea of how many first places there are each year, just click on the "2004 Winners" link in the article.Mrand 18:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, at least unnecessary good faith is better than unnecessary bad faith. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

- Delete, given above, this does not appear to be a notable person within the sport of shooting. Lankiveil 01:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC).
