Does not meet WP:GNG or any of the lesser qualifications for athletes. Article does not make any assertion of any claim that would reach automatic notability either. Can't imagine why being named to an ethnic hall of fame would qualify one as notable. John from Idegon (talk) 16:56, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep As expanded, the article clearly meets any notability guideline for his accomplishments at the national level as a speed skater, earning induction to the halls of fame listed in the article. The material added all ultimately stemmed from the sources provided in the article when it was nominated for deletion. Alansohn (talk) 18:05, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Came across this from DYK. Great job on the expansion Alansohn. Clearly meets GNG. His sport, speed skating isn't really listed in WP:ATHLETE. "Amateur sports" has no applicable category, "Ice hockey" assumes one is on a team, "figure skating" is a completely different set of skills. Only remotely close parallel would be track and field, though clearly not on ice. However, using that it is a race, he meets multiple criteria #3 (won 3 international competitions), #7 (set five United States records), and #10 (inducted into the National Speed Skating Hall of Fame in 2010). Thus, would seem he also meets reasonable criteria of Athlete. Clear keep. SusunW (talk) 07:19, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
