Grand assertion of notability, but Google comes up empty when it comes to backing it up. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:38, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources for verification, and possibly false. Big claims but no confirmation found using Google. Possibly speedy as a hoax. Bill (talk 01:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Google only throws up bebo conversations - assuming Eli Hauaru and Elijah Hauaru are the same person. Sports-wise, I am unable to verify the claim of going to the Beijing Olympics to represent NZ; nor can I verify the claim of a potential signing with Toulon.

 * Speedy delete. Someone had a little fun here, no athlete makes it into the olympic game or beats world records without a Google hit. Equendil Talk 10:33, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - I was about to speedy this as a blatant hoax (which it is - "Elijah Hauaru" gets no ghits from NZ webpages. a little surprising for such a sporting legend), when i discovered that "blatant hoax" is no longer a speedying criterion. Who removed such a major speedying criterion, and why? Grutness...wha?  01:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Criterion G3 (vandalism) covers "blatant misinformation", which does include obvious hoaxes. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
