I PRODed this with "e coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. ". It was deprodded by User:Bodhi-Baum, it's creator, with the following rationale: "All I can say is that Matthias Berg is a force to be reckoned with in the field of Othello sports. It is obvious that this is not a mainstream sport. This may also be the reason why it is almost exclusively reported on the relevant sites. However, one should not forget that Mr Berg has already won many titles both nationally and internationally. As far as I know, just winning one national title in a sport makes you relevant for Wikipedia. Moreover, the article was created in May 2020 and there was already a relevance discussion. I don't understand why it should be deleted again now, after nine, almost ten months.". Unfortunately, I don't think that this explanation addresses my concerns; the subject still seems to fail GNG and NPSORT since "winning the German Othello Championship" is not covered under NSPORT and so we default to GNG and the coverage about him seems non-existent. Let's discuss this here. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:13, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Matthias Berg not just won the German nationals several times, he also won european and world championships or was on the first three places there. --Bodhi-Baum (talk) 09:21, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
