Notability concerns. The only reference is the World Curling Federation database, and I can't find any coverage of this person. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:31, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:NCURLING: "...A curler is presumed notable if he or she ... 2) Has participated at the World Curling Championships..." Finn Mikkelsen has participated at the 2002 World Wheelchair Curling Championship. Yes, I can't found other sources for today. -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 05:50, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the curling notability criteria are clearly junk. If we cannot find 3rd party coverage of someone being in a competition, than claiming it is a sign of default notability is clearly wrong, and explains why Wikipedia is burdened down by so many article that are permastubs.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:17, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Earl Andrew, ‎Allthegoldmedals, ‎A202985, TracyFleuryFan - what you can say? (about Parakev Arsenov too) -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 19:37, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: WP:NCURLING does not mention wheelchair curling at all, so there is no need to denegrate it. Wheelchair curling does not get the same coverage as regular curling, so if you want to make the case that this article should be deleted, then you can start there. -- Earl Andrew - talk 20:23, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Wikipedia:Notability mentions that just because a subject is presumed notable, it may not warrant an article if it hasn't received significant coverage in reliable sources. I'm all for increasing our depth of information on curling on Wikipedia, but as Earl mentioned, sometimes there isn't the same coverage. Allthegoldmedals (talk) 21:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment: I agree with the above comments. The wheelchair championships don't get nearly as much coverage as the men's and women's do so they are going to be less notable and have less sources about them. I love expanding the articles on curling but for this particular one I think there needs to be more than one source for it to be justifiable. TracyFleuryFan (talk) 02:47, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete I'm not seeing the significant independent coverage required to meet WP:GNG nor do I see any evidence that he meets any SNG. Papaursa (talk) 22:52, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
