The only competitions this badminton player won (Dutch National Junior Championships and German Team Championships) do not even have their own articles. He played in Belgian International (badminton) and Israel International (badminton), but didn't win either. This badminton player fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for athletes.

- Keep. Clearly meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for athletes. Two times German Team Champion, second in Dutch national singles championships, second at Israel International, participation at European Team Championships and 2001 IBF World Championships – Men's Singles. If there is no article at Wikipedia about a championship it does not mean, that the person who won the title is not relevant. In these cases one can use other Wikipedias or primary and secondary sources. 6.610 google hits. --Florentyna (talk) 07:41, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Keep - Based on his official profile at the BWF, and WP:NSPORT#Badminton: He has competed at a BWF Super series event (French Su[er Series 2008) which is sufficient to establish notability as a badminton athlete. -- Whpq (talk) 14:48, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Keep. I think it is all said and done. Compare it to other WP:NSPORT. Has participated in a World Curling Tour sanctioned event (Curling), Have competed at World Championship (Cycling), The player has competed in the Fed Cup, Davis Cup, Hopman Cup or similar international competition (Tennis). All of these points are given for Massing in a similar way in Badminton. --Florentyna (talk) 07:35, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
