The result was delete‎. This is confusing as the subject has won championships but I guess, given the comments, the tournaments aren't notable enough in themselves to meet WP:NTENNIS standards. If an editor would like to continue to work on the article in Draft space (in case of TOOSOON), contact me or ask at WP:REFUND. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable tennis player who fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:NTENNIS. Being a highly ranked Russian tennis player doesn't inherently mean notability as has been mentioned in the argument against PROD. Adamtt9 (talk) 22:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• He is the winner of thirteen ITF tournaments, five in singles!
• He is among the top-10 Russian men's singles tennis players!
• Two-time champion of Russia in doubles (2022, 2023) [1].

What has any of that got to do with WP:NTENNIS or WP:GNG? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 00:14, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Two-time champion of Russia in doubles (2022, 2023)!!! Zboris (talk) 17:21, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Nothing really notable here. Winning minor-minor league events against a lot of teenagers is not notable. If he steps up to the minor league Challenger level tour and wins an event or two, then we can take a re-look. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:27, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fails WP:SPORTSBASIC, WP:NTENNIS, and WP:SIGCOV. Probably a case of WP:TOOSOON. If he starts winning some tournaments in a higher league, or sets some sort of recognized Tennis record as described in WP:NTENNIS it can always be recreated.4meter4 (talk) 19:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
