• Delete. Since uni debating days, appears to have become an everyday corporate lawyer. Samaritan 07:30, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Abstain for now, waiting on further arguments/hopefully consensus on notability of world-ranked university debaters. Samaritan 21:36, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Strong keep. His competitive achievements make him far more notable than just the office of CUSID president. Not all presidents of CUSID are listed with their own entries, only those who were also competitive debaters of international note. Being one of the world's top debaters makes him notable to anyone researching debating and debaters, just like famous athletes. Fenster 10:16, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: At present a perfect merge and redirect, but the article to which it should be merged does not exist yet, so I am left only with "delete," despite the worthiness of the figure. (The fact that they all become lawyers is one of the reasons I had no patience for it at Emory University. All the warmth and personal bonding of wounded wolverines.) Geogre 16:17, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The vast majority of "top speakers" at this competition do not have articles. If they do not merit entries why does this person when this is their greatest accomplishment?AndyL 02:53, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Delete, non-notable, as above. Lord Bob 18:43, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Debaters are notable. Academic Challenger 00:59, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, seems non-notable. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:10, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• delete unless we're going to list every corporate lawyer in Canada. AndyL 20:28, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: wrong side of the line. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:08, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
