  • So what? Why a profesional soccer player is better than a professional dentist? What's his notability? - Altenmann >t 00:12, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • But there isn't a criteria set for professional dentists as there is for sportspeople at WP:ATHLETE. --Jimbo^[online] 08:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep article passes WP:ATHLETE, and should be easy to source sufficiently to pass WP:N if there are some users proficient in Lithuanian or Russian. I added one Lithuanian source easily and I don't read the language. Jogurney (talk) 00:05, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
