Decline speedy. Fails WP:Athlete which says Triathletes are presumed notable if they
 * Have competed in Triathlon at the Summer Olympics or have had a podium finish at the Pan American Games or Commonwealth Games.
 * Have had a podium finish in an International Triathlon Union sanctioned championship.
 * Have had a podium finish at the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii or at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship.
 * Have had a podium finish at the XTERRA Triathlon championships.

None of these appear to be applicable here NtheP (talk) 22:31, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence that he meets the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. All the news hits would appear to be about other people with this name.  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 22:33, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Probably could be speedied; speedy tag removed with the edit summary "Professional athletes are notable", which is a clear misreading of WP:ATHLETE. Hairhorn (talk) 03:44, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
