Keep – A very well written article. It's not worth it deleting an already developed and very well written article. It just wastes the authors time put on the content. /Heymid (talk) 19:46, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The issue isn't whether it is wll written or not - the issue is whether reliable and independent sources can be found to verify the information in the article - and when I looked for some, I couldn't find any. Articles require references - and those that are biographies of living persons need so even more. Although I appreciate the work put into the article by the 29 editors (excluding bots) who have contributed to it, the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia is not whether an article is well written or whether authors have put time into it - but whether it can be shown that the subject meets the notability guidelines and that the facts in the article can be verified. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 12:27, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:ATHLETE, as he competed regularly at the top level of his sport. Please note that I am familiar with Wikipedia policies and do not need the constant badgering that has been going on lately in wrestling biography deletion discussions.
