:({{Find sources AFD|title=Dominik Kočik}})

Subject does not appear to be notable upon search. I've found two potential secondary sources ([https://dartsnews.com/other/another-up-and-coming-talent-added-by-mission-darts 1] & [https://dartsplanet.tv/klaasen-and-greaves-claim-wdf-dutch-open-glory/ 2]) referenced in the current state of the article, but the first thing that struck out to me is that they do not seem to be WP:SIGCOV, so there is no real reason to presume that the subject is notable as of right now.

• Keep - in addition to the two sources above, I'm able to find quite a bit of material in Slovak sources ([https://www.dobrenoviny.sk/c/206298/nedosiahol-na-sipky-pomahal-si-stolcekom-13-rocny-dominik-dnes-patri-k-slovenskej-spicke-poraza-aj-dospelych 1], [https://emefka.sk/dominik-ma-14-rokov-a-uz-teraz-je-na-ceste-stat-sa-profesionalnym-sipkarom-na-svetovej-urovni-rozhovor/ 2], [https://dennikn.sk/2851185/ma-12-rokov-sponzorov-a-zdolava-18-rocnych-dominik-kocik-slovenska-sipkarska-nadej/ 3] [https://presov.dnes24.sk/jeden-sa-chce-stat-slovenskou-jednotkou-druhy-sa-k-sipkam-dostal-pri-televiznej-obrazovke-435456 4], [https://www.cas.sk/spravy/domace-spravy/dominik-je-sipkarsky-megatalent-pred-skolakom-sa-trasu-aj-dospeli-hraci 5], [https://tvnoviny.sk/domace/clanok/207111-ako-12-rocny-uz-dosiahol-obrovske-uspechy-na-slovensku-vyrasta-velky-talent-v-sipkach 6]) indicating he's at least regionally notable in Slovakia for his darting abilities. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 08:09, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
• Comment – He is a young athlete who just started his career. Can anyone analyze whether or not the sources found by Ser! count towards WP:GNG?⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 11:26, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

• Draftify - There is nothing on the page that points towards GNG, but Ser! has added a number of new sources. [https://emefka.sk/dominik-ma-14-rokov-a-uz-teraz-je-na-ceste-stat-sa-profesionalnym-sipkarom-na-svetovej-urovni-rozhovor/] is an interview, so that is {{nay}} per WP:IV. The others are all SIGCOV, but all focussing on him as a rising hope who is top of his youth class and even won a competition in the Netherlands. Now I don't know if we call darts players athletes, but I think WP:YOUNGATH applies in any case. He clearly made a stir in June 2022, after winning in the Netherlands, but these are youth tournaments, and the press interest in him is localised (although across Slovakia) and also occasioned, and thus primary news reporting. At this point I agree with the press reporting that he looks like a Slovak hopeful for great future success, but that is in the future. Draftify recognises that this may occur. However, there is a risk that the draft will be abandoned before the success occurs, which could be some time away. I would also be happy with a redirect to preserve page history. However, there is not much that is actually usable in the final article in what we have now (again, ther sourcing on the page as it is will not do). Failing agreement on a suitable redirect, I would see no problem with deletion. The article can be written if and when he achieves success in major tournaments and elicits significant secondary coverage. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:17, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

:Draftify, per Sirfurboy's suggestion. Let this incubate until more comprehensive independent sources are found/published. JoelleJay (talk) 18:13, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
