• keep - He is well known in the LGBT community, and he have achieved a lot in wrestling. fred8695 (talk) 20:17 27 January 2018 (UTC)

• keep - He has received a large amount of national coverage and is well documented social media presence. He is one of the first competitive high school wrestlers to have come out and a two time all American. he is widely present on social media alone and with his partner Jackson Krecioch..

• Weak Delete - Looks like a 1E issue, and/or a case of WP:TOOSOON. I do not do much with WP:SPORTS notability so I am not fully certain. The only real coverage he does have is of him coming out, which is what I mean by 1E.

• weak delete As noted above,
  WP:TOOSOON appears directly applicable here. Link in article to Grant Mower appears to share same issue, so considering AfD there as well. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:04, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Comment - I understand the too soon argument and it seems to hold some credence. Alfie I will try to add some activistism links perhaps this might change your mind? If this article has to be deleted for the time being so be it. I appreciate all of your work to keep this encyclopedia on point. I just want to point out that this nomination was made in proxy for an isp user who had no previous edits except for trying to blank the page and declaring that they were going to remove it. They actually wrote "Dylan Geick does not fulfill the notability requirement for a Wikipedia article. I've elected to delete the content thereof since it has no reason being on here" and then blanked the page which was in turn restored by skywarrior Williamsdoritios (talk) 18:49, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Two claims to fame seem to be good high school wrestler and an openly gay college wrestler. High school All-American honors are not usually enough to give a presumption of notability. Its no different than being a junior national top-8 in something - junior accomplishments usually don't give notability on its own. With regard to being an openly gay wrestler, my biggest issue is, as the article states, he is the second one to come out; not the first. Compare coverage of
  All-American vs. college freshman). Since he isn't the first, the coverage appears to be more routine, less in depth, and more localized. Also, there are concerns with some, but not all, of the sources not being independent (e.g., two are from the school he wrestles for, one is his instagram profile, another is his youtube channel, outsports.com looks to be a blog, etc.). If he earns All-American honors in college, then the coverage of him being gay may tip the scales to keep over a run-of-the-mill All-American. But right now we have a number of reasons, WP:TOOSOON. WP:1E, etc. to make me comfortable with keep. RonSigPi (talk) 22:21, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply

• soft delete with no prejudice - Sadly,
  WP:TOOSOON. Despite what they have accomplished, and above, I've not found it to bare out in reliable sources. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:29, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Delete. I don't want to repeat the explanations of the lack of notability here, it's obvious and has been well stated above. – Athaenara ✉ 12:18, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
