OK I need some help here. I feel like a crumb for this AfD. It's fairly obviously a semi autobiographical article by some kid in the UK who is into weight lifting. Most of the article is more about the sport than him so I don't see this as any sort of self-promotion. But I can't see anything that makes this article WP:N. Is there anything here that can be salvaged? Unfortunately the last 2/3 of the article appear to be a cut and paste from Olympic weightlifting. Article had previously been nominated for CSD but survived on the very thin possibility that the subject's junior competition awards might lend enough significance to escape CSD.

- Delete. He wasn't the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2012. Could be some other award of the same name, but where's the reference for that or the competitions he supposedly won or placed second? And what's with all the ridiculous categories? Competitor in the 2008 Summer Olympics? 2012 Olympic Marathon? Nike? Facebook employee? Olympic weightlifters of the United States? Smells more and more like wishful thinking.

- Delete as per WP:NOT. As a comment, the article is not subject to CSD A7 as it makes a claim of notability that needs to be discussed at AFD. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 18:54, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I have removed the random info, links & cats unrelated to Henderson. No indication that he has performed at a high enough level, nor have sufficient independent significant coverage. The-Pope (talk) 16:07, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
