This was created by the subject's great grandson, and reads like something someone would write on a family member, not like an encyclopedia article. There has been no sourcing for 10 years, the one source I added lacks significant coverage. The creator claims there are entries in the New York Times but my search for such sources produced nothing at all. My searches in multiple different places turned up no significant coverage.

 * Delete Unreferenced so unable to verify claims made in article. My own searches found namesakes. LibStar (talk) 07:18, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Changing to weak keep after delving into sources. Most are 1-2 sentence or a paragraph announcing the results of a race, with the exception of the obit. It depends on how sports figures from his time are judged, and I have no idea about that. Still many thanks to BeanieFan11. I see at least four sources specifically about him. I'll see what I can add to the article. I added what I could to the article. Also note that he is sometimes listed as "Andrew" or "Andrew J." Lamona (talk) 18:00, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. this and this, plus a few lesser articles amount to the WP:SIGCOV required to meet WP:GNG.Jacona (talk) 14:30, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's unclear why this has been nominated. Subject passes the WP:GNG per sources above. Nominator complaints about the sources IN the article, however per WP:NEXIST that's not a rationale for deletion. He also suggests that Wikipedia has deadlines. There is no such thing. gidonb (talk) 16:25, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
