Keep Meets WP:NTRACK - Top 8 finish at 2017 World Mountain Running Championships (and team bronze). Plus, along with what is in the article appears to meet WP:GNG with these: [1], [2], [3], [4]. RonSigPi (talk) 21:28, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We don't decide whether to keep an article based on achievements or medals won, we decide based on the presence or non-presence of coverage. And this athlete has enough specific coverage as demonstrated above. --Habst (talk) 14:37, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as none of the sources provide Wikipedia:Significant coverage beyond saying he won X championship. बिनोद थारू (talk) 02:00, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep: The Runner's World and ESPN articles (a few comments above this one) are good sources, the interview can fill in the spaces but is primary sourcing. I think we have enough for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 15:13, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
