The result was delete. The assertion that world records confer notability is not backed by any policies or guidelines. Sandstein 10:11, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To me this is a classic case of WP:BLP1E for a diver who just happens to be in the Guinness Book of Records. There's no real coverage of this person, apart from setting two very similar world records. It was created by a WP:SPA some six years ago too.

Keep Ahmed Gabr is a highly-noticeable Egyptian diver. WP:SPA is not an enough reason for removing such an article IMO. --Ramses Nagib (talk) 19:43, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete on the the basis of WP:1E. Once the dive records are broken, there is no further notability evident. He was once a record holder? Ifnord (talk) 21:39, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
