Keep. Meets the
"significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject," see the following: Palmer senior wrestles with Olympic dream: Greczkowski trying to make judo team from the Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph; Brandon Greczkowski: Judo from the Hartford Courant; Throwing Judo's Elite For A Loop (p2) from the Hartford Courant; and Neighbors Share Gift For Judo (p2) from the Hartford Courant. Also, although not necessarily SIGCOV, he appears to be mentioned in the following sources as well: Red, White, Blue & Gold: The U.S. Olympic Team at the Games of the XXVII Olympiad (p. 101–103); and The All-State Olympic Team from The New York Times.

Keep I have added some accomplishments and references to the article. He was a three time U.S. champion and six time medalist at the U.S. championships. He won two medals at the Pan-American championships. He won three matches at the Olympics, losing only to two of the medalists (including a three time Olympic champion), and finished 7th. I'll admit there isn't a lot of internet coverage for a competitor whose biggest success was in the 1990s in a low interest (in the U.S.) sport like judo. However, I believe his level of success merits inclusion in WP. Papaursa (talk) 13:08, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
