Taekwondo competitor who's claim to fame is being denied entry into the U.S. because of Donald Trump's travel ban. Although he has competed at the senior world championships, his highest world ranking ever apparently was 59th, which does not show notability. He is currently ranked 73rd. Clear case of WP:BLP1E and definitely fails the notability standards for martial artists at WP:MANOTE. Sandals1 (talk) 19:23, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Delete - it's a borderline case, but after researching this he isn't notable enough yet as a martial arts practitioner and does has reliable sources but fails WP:BLP1E Mujinga (talk) 22:16, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

• Delete I agree with the previous editors. I don't think he meets WP:MANOTE and I didn't see the coverage I believe is required to meet WP:GNG because I believe it's all about one event (which means WP:BLP1E applies). Papaursa (talk) 20:17, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
