Wrestler whose biggest claim to fame was wrestling at one U.S. Olympic trial. Fails WP:ATHLETE, specifically he has not been to "a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics." SalHamton (talk) 01:47, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "will compete at the 2012 Olympics" it says. How can I know that he didn't? --Mentoz86 (talk) 02:00, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It took me less than two minutes to find out that he did compete in the 2012 Olympics[1], which means that the nominator got no case. --Mentoz86 (talk) 02:03, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I updated the article with his Olympic information. It took two minutes to edit. So two minutes for Mentoz86 to find the article and two minutes for me to edit the article. I suggest future deletions follow what is found at Wikipedia:Guide to deletion#Considerations - "Before nominating an article for AFD...first do the necessary homework and look for sources yourself, and invite discussion on the talk page by using the notability template..." Seems like a simple Google search could have solved this (searching 'Sam Hazewinkel 2012 olympics' in Google, the article found by Mentoz86 shows up 4th.)

Keep Per WP:NOLYMPICS, participation at the Olympics sufficient for any athlete to be notable. Churn and change (talk) 03:16, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - clearly should not have been nominated. All good, but should now be withdrawn/closed. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 04:22, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
