Comment: I frequently read a comment that someone "meets ", but it consists of two sentences and a footnote, and I can't see what part of it is applicable here.  Persons who are inherently notable under that rule are: "People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis.8  People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships."  The 8 footnote adds "Participation in and, in most cases, winning individual tournaments, except the most prestigious events, does not make non-athletic competitors notable. This includes, but is not limited to, poker, bridge, chess, Magic:The Gathering, Starcraft, etc."  Which part of  does this person qualify under
