Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Avanesyan
All, please note the wording in   ''"Sports figures are presumed notable (except as noted within a specific section) if they: have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level '''such as''' the Olympics."'' This does not mean that it's Olympics or nothing. Numerous athletes compete at World Championships for their sport, whether it's track, hockey, wrestling, rugby, boxing, cricket, baseketball etc but do not compete at the Olympics for numerous reasons (injury, boycott, poor qualifying results). "The Olympics" in the guideline are merely used as an example, not as the ''only'' sporting event that makes an athlete notable. One should consider World Championships and World Cups as a major international amateur or professional competition. Like the Olympics, the highest ranked athletes from each country attend and compete at these events. Also it should be noted that Avanesyan's mediocre placings at these events does not affect his notabilty - he merely needs to compete, or otherwise  would say "win" or "place" instead of "participate" (and if it does and I'm missing something, please direct me to the appropriate guideline). Thanks
