15 year old inline speed (roller) skater, not the more notable ice speed skater, from India, where I'm sure it is a very minor sport. Claims are made of winning state and national medals and competing at international level, but there the only evidence is the personal website of the subject. Likely autobio from a single edit user.

Delete: No sources verify notability claims. SL93 (talk) 22:22, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Google News has a few hits for other people with this name, but none for this person. Can find no evidence that subject meets any WP:ATHLETE criterion for notability. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:33, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The claims in the article are a bit sketchy with regards to exactly which competitions have been entered. With the lack of coverage in any reliable sources, about the only item this article would qualify under would be WP:ATHLETE with competition at the highest level of his sport. The website for the sport's governing body is not very helpful as it provides no athlete database, nor any indication what competitions are sanctioned beyond an events schedule that would imply that there is some form of world cup circuit. Given the lack of detail in the current article, absent any new sources turning up, there is no indication that the subject is a competitor in the top level of his sport. -- Whpq (talk) 17:20, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
