List of World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships medalists[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

It does not appear as though any of the individuals or individual competitions in this list are notable. The main page of the topic likely adequately covers it without this large list of names. No references of any kind. N419 BH 05:14, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Doesn't the fact that it is a list of "Amateur" anything pretty much tell us it is likely to not be notable? Dennis Brown (talk) 01:43, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Some of these amateurs have gone on to become professionals and others have gone on to become notable in other sports such as boxing. Either way this is still a World Championship and as such is a notable event. The event itself meets WP:GNG from the media coverage of all the championships. Google has more than 30k hits on this series of championships. This list also supplements the article called World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships.

Keep An example of the beginnings of a good list--the kind of list article that Wikipedia needs more of.--Paul McDonald (talk) 05:06, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
