Does not appear to be notable. Farm league wrestler with a single article written about him. cmadler (talk) 15:04, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, worked for and held titles in Stampede Wrestling, the top wrestling promotion in Canada, which satisfies WP:ATHLETE. Also has at least one article about him: [1]. Nikki♥311 19:49, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Notability established through article from a major publisher and having competed for Stampede Wrestling, a major notable promotion. GaryColemanFan (talk) 01:17, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - WP:ATHLETE says "People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis, except for those that participated only in competitions that are themselves non-notable." I can't find anything suggesting that he has yet competed at the fully professional level. In particular, the fact that he was wrestling while in business school suggests the opposite. Only one independent source has been provided, and the general notability guideline requires "significant coverage in reliable sources", and specifically states that "[l]ack of multiple sources suggests that the topic may be more suitable for inclusion in an article on a broader topic." cmadler (talk) 19:55, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as references from reliable sources allow this to cross the verifiability threshold and being a two time winner of the Stampede Wrestling International Tag Team Championship as a professional appears to more than satisfy any WP:ATHLETE concerns. A number of MLB and NFL players have gone to college during their professional careers, usually to finish an incomplete degree, so that's not a strong counter-indication as to his professional status. - Dravecky (talk) 20:29, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
