Christian Harrison (runner)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable athlete. Possible COI/autobio issues. Has been back and forth between drafts and main space a couple of times already, hence next stop AfD. The career achievements don't appear to meet any of the WP:NTRACK criteria. None of the sources cited satisfy WP:GNG, and a search finds nothing better. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:06, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Number 7 in the WP:NTRACK criteria states the athlete has to own a mark that placed him in the top 12 for the calendar year.
 * In February 2018, Harrison ran 1:46.83 in Boston, MA. That was the 6th fastest time in the U.S., and the 16th fastest time in the world that indoor season. Verified on the IAAF World Athletics archive.
 * And the sources for this article are clearly reliable and significant. Not sure why you feel this way, but he’s pretty clearly a notable athlete. He’s not an Olympic gold medalist or world record holder, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t notable. Kj2023 (talk) 05:15, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - last time I checked #16 is not in the top 12. However, even if they were in the top 12, that only means that they might be notable.  Which this person is not. Add to that the COI/UPE editing, and well, delete please. Onel 5969  TT me 18:55, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Weak Keep, he is slightly notable by having the 6th fastest time in the U.S. Davidgoodheart (talk) 04:58, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
