Sidney McKnight deserves a listing in Olympic results, Boxing at the 1976 Summer Olympics, but not an article. He is not separately notable.--Bejnar 05:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

I am listing this article for Deletion because Sidney McKnight is not notable. I know that there are those who will say that being in the Olympics is in itself sufficient for notabilty. I respectfully disagree. Something needs to be published about the person, other than the barebones Canadian Olympic Committee database bio and the one line entries in newspaper tables that report the Olympics. Sidney McKnight has no other publication existance. He wasn't worth writing about. --Bejnar 20:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
