Non-notable person. This probably qualifies under WP:CSD as having been created and maintained by a fairly extensive sock farm, but I'm not sure if G5 applies to articles created before the socking was discovered so I'll take the safe route and bring it to AFD. The sources listed for this person are all self-created bios at various sites (such as athletebio.com) or mentions of honor by the Harris Charitable Trust (an organization that appears rather shady and possibly non-existent other than their website, whose honorees include all of the people that this sock farm is trying to promote on Wikipedia). No actual independent coverage in any reliable source. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:07, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
