The result was delete. Seems like being in the Paralympics is not a default assumption of notability, and other criteria are not met either. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:27, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - paralympian. Nfitz (talk) 22:23, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as discussed at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)/Archive 22#Paralympics and elsewhere, there is no concensus to give paralympic athletes a presumption of notability. RonSigPi (talk) 23:12, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment that discussion was quite balanced and consensus can change, IMO standards for olympians and paralympians should be the same instead of some antiquated consensus Atlantic306 (talk) 23:51, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A balanced discussion still means no consensus and therefore no modification or particular interpretation to a guideline. While consensus can change, no evidence is shown that the consensus has changed to include paralympians. RonSigPi (talk) 02:23, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No they shouldn't. The Olympics are far more notable than the Paralympics. That's the fact of the matter. Simione001 (talk) 02:02, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. Keep votes above are entirely against current consensus. WP:NOLYMPICS is quite clear that Paralympic participants must have medalled to be assumed inherently notable. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 07:57, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
