Allen James is a US Olympian. He was the most dominant US race walker of the 1990's, holding 5 American Records, winning multiple US Championships and representing the US in 2 Olympic Games (1992 & 1996), 1995 Pan American Games, 1993 & 1995 World Championships and multiple World Cup and Pan Am Cup walking events.

His bio can be found at usatf.org and racewalk.com, the former giving permission to use this content. He is referenced in several articles on Wikipedia from each of the athletic events mentioned to his High School and University (hall of fame).

We're just getting started with this page, so, we didn't expect it to get deleted immediately. His page should look similar to a protege Curt Clausen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curt_Clausen Other References https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_1992_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_20_kilometres_walk - 30th place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_World_Championships_in_Athletics_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_20_kilometres_walk - 18th place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_1995_Pan_American_Games_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_50_kilometres_walk - 6th place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_1996_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_50_kilometres_walk http://www.wwuvikings.com/hallfame/james.html http://racewalk.com/profiles/allenJames.php http://www.usatf.org/athletes/bios/TrackAndFieldArchive/1997/james.asp

 * Wikipedia cannot be used as a source, per WP:USERGENERATED. I have changed the speedy deletion tag to a BLPPROD, giving you one week to improve the article. Also, "we"? Are you implying use of a WP:SHAREDACCOUNT? If so, that is against policy, and you may be subject to a block.  JTP (talk • contribs) 19:14, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
