• Weak keep - Per comments by users above. Seems like the article could use more citations and work, rather than deletion. Northamerica1000^(talk) 14:31, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

• Keep per User:GiantSnowman. The nominator must take more care in future before proposing articles for AfD. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 19:31, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
• Comment- the lack of English articles may make it difficult to create an in-depth article, it would be more useful to create an article in the French Wikipedia. Gsingh (talk) 00:09, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
• Eh, no. You could just learn reading other languages. There is no requirement that references be in English. Drmies (talk) 05:48, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm surprised at a weak keep, above. There are plenty of sources--see [https://www.google.com/search?q=Sporting+International+de+Karat%C3%A9+Paris+gomis&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=cYo&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&tbs=ar:1&tbm=nws&source=hp&q=SIK+Paris+%22Robert+Gomis%22&pbx=1&oq=SIK+Paris+%22Robert+Gomis%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=14430l17800l2l18100l9l8l0l0l0l3l359l1587l0.6.1.1l8l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=30aacb60a5189cbc&biw=1024&bih=430 this], for instance (SIK Paris is his club). I've added [http://www.leparisien.fr/paris/david-felix-sur-ses-gardes-27-04-2000-2001340197.php this article], proving his silver medal--and Le Parisien is a reliable source, yes, even if it is in French.

• Keep - clearly notable with the silver medal win, although the article is in need of some expansion there's no reason for deletion.--Stvfetterly (talk) 19:40, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
• 'Keep Based on him winning the silver metal at the European Karate Championships. Click Google news archive search at the top of the AFD, and you get a 61 results in French. Anyone who speaks French can search for the French words for "silver" and "medal" as well, or the championship's name, and find coverage. The medal itself is enough to prove his notability though.
