No good references[edit]

None of the current references mention anything about Tampaxis as of June 21, 2010. As for one edit saying he is not blind, the site: http://www.enotes.com/topic/Christos_Tampaxis says he is. Nasnema Chat 21:56, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The third reference included in the article does say he is blind - it's on page two of the Sunday Morning Herald article. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^shhh 22:33, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I missed that but now am wondering about notability. Does anyone agree this is not notable? Nasnema Chat 22:38, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the subject is definitely notable - earning a medal at the Paralympics is equivilant to earning a medal at the Olympics, and for swimming that is the top amateur level of the sport. You may want to double check with the Wikiproject Olympics group, but I think the subject meets WP:ATHLETE. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^shhh 23:22, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
