Non-notable judoka. He has never competed at a major tournament except as a junior, which has never been enough to show notability. Receiving some junior awards, and the coverage of that, has the same problem. He is currently ranked 102 in the world in his division [1]. He may become notable, but right now he doesn't have the coverage or accomplishments.Mdtemp (talk) 20:36, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not the primary focus on any of the sources cited, lacking verifiable notability. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 20:59, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - winning a silver medal at the Youth Olympic Games and a gold medal at the Junior European Championships establishes requirements for sport notability. Quite a few sources in Serbian; just needs rewrite. —Мандичка^YO 😜 22:06, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Youth championships and awards have never been considered sufficient to show notability. Competing against "some big names" would imply inherited notability, which is not WP policy. He's not competed at a major event as an adult and is not currently even ranked in the top 100 of his division. At best, this falls under WP:TOOSOON. I'd say he fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:ATHLETE, or WP:MANOTE. Papaursa (talk) 18:38, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Youth Olympic Games is run by the International Olympic Committee every four years. It is not a typical junior event. Additionally, there are sources in Serbian that support notability, including being named Athlete of the Year in Serbia. —Мандичка^YO 😜 01:18, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The notability criteria for athletes requires them to compete at the highest level, which a junior competition is not. Gold medal winners from the youth olympics have been deleted before, and not just in martial arts. For example, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zheng Saisai for a tennis example. He wasn't the "Athlete of the year", he was the "most successful Serbian youth athlete of the year"--there's a big difference. Novak Djoković won the award for adult males.

Delete Junior titles do not support notability claims. Recreate when/if he makes the real Olympics. Coverage is not enough for GNG. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 19:31, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
