i'm not gonna pretend like i'm an expert on anything sports related, but I did some digging (papers, books, google, of course) and the race he supposedly placed ins website and I can't find anything to verify that this guy actually exists in any capacity related to being a cyclist or placing in a championship - in fact, I did find some coverage under the Greek spelling but for an author who is very much not this guy. I also believe the 2007 championship article which names him (and was created by the same person who created this article) is being conflated with another notable race, which is US based.

I removed the sole source that's ever been here as it's UGEN and not reliable and *every* result I can find about this person is from a Wikipedia mirror. PICKLEDICAE🥒 22:03, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

 *  Keep Delete meets WP:NCYC as winning the national championships, I then found a source from a news site to back up the page and added it. Paulpat99 (talk) 23:20, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have yet again removed the unreliable sources - not a single one is an RS and there are no sources about this person. PICKLEDICAE🥒 23:27, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Change to Delete as there is no sources about the person just an event the person did. Although they are notable, no sources exist. Paulpat99 (talk) 02:49, 31 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete: Not able to find any sources that meet GNG after a before search. –– FormalDude   talk   10:56, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * So this guy does exist and has indeed won national competitions in Cyprus per the club website - note that his surname is spelt differently in Greek from the author mentioned above. I am not too comfortable !voting delete as I know that online coverage of niche Cypriot sports from 2007 is incredibly patchy (any sports publications from the time would not have been digitised) but the fact that I can’t even find a few sentences outside of the club website does indicate that such coverage is less likely to exist, so I will go for a weak delete here. —GGT (talk) 22:31, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I dug into some archives of papers and books and there is nothing about him in Greek or English, if that helps. PICKLEDICAE🥒 22:34, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
