Thanks Jesse. Not my intention to simply advertise anyone/anything. I read the page including reference to specific named competitive events (such as CRASH-B and World Rowing Indoor Champs) and thought the final comment relating to non-competitive events might also benefit from a named example for context. Perhaps you can help me understand why a World Rowing event could be named but not an event like EnduRow Challenge (which was the first and largest event of its kind this Feb)? Perhaps I just need to word it differently to pass wiki criteria and help others’ education? IFoundThisInteresting (talk) 19:55, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I added the spam notice because in the past year you only made three edits to same the topic which you might be affiliated with. Also, you added it as an inline external link which is frowned upon. The Crash B thing is cited to an external source, World Rowing which appears to be a periodical, note it is not sourced to Crash-B itself. Self-referencing does not confer notability. If the even EnduRow is notable, a third part source properly linked in between tags would prove notability for inclusion here. Hope that helps, I'm not a subject matter expert here, just follow the page because it attracts a fair amount of spam. JesseRafe (talk) 16:27, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
