Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Roseberry
I have no idea why people are using the notability criteria for artists, unless they don't know the difference between an "artist" and a "martial artist".  The coverage from the Lincoln paper is local color and I see nothing that shows the significant coverage from independent reliable sources that are necessary to meet .  Since he never competed at the Olympics or world championships there's nothing to show he meets .  There's also no indication that he meets any of the notability criteria at .  As far as some of the specific claims go, I was not able to find any listing of U.S. judo national championship results that mention Roseberry and the claim he was an alternate for the 1964 U.S. Olympic team lacks supporting evidence (and even if it was true it wouldn't be sufficient to show notability).  In fact, Black Belt magazine's reporting of the trials https://books.google.com/books?id=adkDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA17&dq=%22george+harris%22+judo+1964+trials&hl=en&sa=X&ei=WCAlVa6rJcqLsAW644HYAQ&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22george%20harris%22%20judo%201964%20trials&f=false specifically mentions all of the winners and second place finishers saying they would be training together to prep for the 1964 Olympics and Roseberry is not mentioned
