The result was keep. Though the consensus is to keep this article, it is an unsourced biography of a living person. Therefore, I will be redirecting this article to FIBT_World_Championships_2011#Skeleton. Please do not revert this action without adding sources.

• Delete - He has not competed in the Winter Olympics, so does not meet WP:ATHLETE, nor does he meet the WP:GNG. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 20:56, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Yes he does meet WP:ATHLETE, because he has competed at the World Championships, the highest level of competition in the sport, which also acts as Winter Olympic Games in non-Olympic years. As per Wikipedia's own guidelines, Sportspeople who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.161.170 (talk) 21:10, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:GNG. I have been unable to locate a single reliable source regarding anything about him. Bzweebl (talk) 21:08, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd click on the "news" link above – there are plenty of reliable sources that have written about Tress. Jenks24 (talk) 09:43, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. As the IP above says, Tress meets WP:NSPORTS because he has competed at the World Championships. This can be verified here. Jenks24 (talk) 09:43, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as he passes WP:ATHLETE.Cavarrone (talk) 12:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Meets notability as an athlete competing at the highest level in his sport which would be the World Cup circuit. -- Whpq (talk) 18:25, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
