Declined prod based on medal in West Asian Championships. However that competition is not a "major senior-level international competition". Still fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. LibStar (talk) 08:26, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:SPORTBASIC: Finished top 3 in any other major senior-level international competition. 2018 West Asian Athletics Championships is a major level competition. Also has its own Wikipedia page. 109.36.238.74 (talk) 08:41, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:NATH #2 states "Finished top 3 in any other major senior-level international competition (this includes prestigious small field meets, e.g., IAAF Diamond League/IAAF Golden League meets, less-prestigious large-scale meets, e.g., Asian Games, and any IAAF Gold Label Road Race that is not explicitly mentioned above)" The West asian championships does not fulfil this.

  I dislike relying on topic-specific notability guidelines in general, but if you're going to cite NATH, then NATH #1 is the prong applicable to this case. It says Finished top 8 in a competition at the highest level outside of the Olympic Games and world championships. Individual events in these championships must contain either several heats or extended fields (e.g., European Athletics Championships, Commonwealth Games, or any of the 6 World Major Marathons). Because the West Asian Championships is an international championship that includes several heats in track events (see World Athletics), the subject's silver medal fits the bill. --Habst (talk) 13:32, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  No, it does not, because the West Asian Championships is a woefully minor, not a major international competition. Geschichte (talk) 04:35, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I respect your opinion. Whether or not a competition is "minor" has always been dependent on regional context; over 300 million people live in West Asia and for them it's a major international competition. I agree with what you said earlier that there are top-25 World Championship athletes without articles that are higher priority, but these AfDs are time-sensitive while there is no time limit to work on those other articles. --Habst (talk) 14:54, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per expansion I made based on new sources. Subject was covered extensively in feature-length profile pieces by 7iber, JRTV, and Jabbar Sport. --Habst (talk) 15:05, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
