Comment: Looks like this is a real person and a Bulgarian champion [1], but I do not see any evidence so far that he was a 2012 European champion, or that he is notable according to WP:ATHLETE.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:36, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The ITF is a separate organization from the WTF (which is the TKD organization recognized by the IOC). In fact, there are now at least 3 separate ITF organizations each claiming to be the "legitimate" ITF. You can decide for yourself the value of their titles, even if they're sourced.

Delete Doesn't seem to meet specific notability criteria and lacks the sources to meet WP:GNG.Mdtemp (talk) 18:00, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is a lack of reliable sources supporting any claims of notability and my search didn't find anything significant. This is apparently a fairly common name since LinkedIn has 25 profiles for people of this name. The fact that I didn't see him mentioned in any of the sources given in the article doesn't help. The source provided by Ymblanter is interesting, but it doesn't give the organization and I think a national championship with only 4 or 5 entries per division is a bit strange. I'm willing to reconsider if some sources can be found to support the claims of being a multiple time national champion as well as a European champion. Papaursa (talk) 23:33, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The notability claims of 'multiple national champion and the 2012 European Taekwon-do ITF champion' and 'sportsman of the year' are unsubstantiated by the references. I have replaced them with {{cn}} until an actual direct reference can be provided, not a link to the organizations homepage. Very difficult finding WP:SIGCOV but did not find anything conclusive. As a result, the burden must rest with the writers of the original article and people with access to Bulgarian language sources, but I think due diligence (at least in English) has been attempted in conducting WP:BEFORE.
