Hi Calixtocapi & welcome to wikipedia,

I have just deleted a paragraph you added to the page Cycling records & I know this can be discouraging or upsetting, especially new contributors. Wikipedia relies on the contributions of people like you so I thought I would reach out to you to explain why in a bit more detail than I put on the talk page.

The page has a few issues particularly around records being verified and notable. You will see at the top of the page that it is intended that the record be recognised by some accepted authority - as well as ensuring notability and accuracy, it means the reader can look to that source to see who previously held the record etc & the conditions under which the record is measured.

While you cited Sean Kelly (cyclist) articles from Wikipedia are not themselves a reliable source & that note is not a reliable source in that the quote, while interesting, is a self published source.

Another way of looking at it is that if a record is "notable", you should be able to find references to the record. For example velonews report is simply as a "claimed speed - see http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/06/lists/velo-list-top-10-descenders-time_332654

I am happy to discuss the matter further if you would like.
