I can't find any hits on Google News for this guy, let alone significant independent coverage. Jerod Lycett (talk) 10:53, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete He is a non-notable individual who never achieved anything significant enough to be included into Wikipedia. Winning a single medium tier marathon in 2002 is not enough to establish notabilty per WP:ATHLETE or specifically WP:NTRACK. He participated in more marathons in the aftermath, but never won anything notable (or got a good result) afterwards. The big problem is also the total absence of RS's to cover WP:GNG, there is nothing on him out there in the news. The San Francisco marathon win falls under WP:SINGLEEVENT and I couldnt find much coverage on that. This article should therefore be deleted. Dead Mary (talk) 11:14, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
