Comment. He reached the final of the European indoor championships at 3000m, and if the claim that he will represent Germany in the World Championships in three months time can be verified, then he will clearly be notable once he has competed there. --Michig (talk) 08:34, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Based on WP:NTRACK, criterion 2, he has to finish in the top 8 at European indoor championships to be notable; he finished 12th. -- Mightytotems (talk) 11:03, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: We cannot adjudicate based on potential notability in the future — a million different things could happen between now and then to impact his potential participation. At the very least, the creation of this page has to wait until the official entry list to the World Championship is released, and even then that's still not a guarantee that he will actually compete until after the event actually takes place. I suggest the original creator of the page (or whoever) keeps the current content in their own sandbox; once/if he actually meets notability criteria then the page can be re-created. -- Mightytotems (talk) 10:58, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This suggestion would lose substantial edit history and author attribution. Better to delete without prejudice and go for a WP:REFUND when notability becomes clear. ~Kvng (talk) 15:41, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
