Evgeniy Nikitin

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An IP user tagged this for speedy deletion arguing "This page is a total fake, there is no proff links and nobody in russian sports community knows who is the person mentioned in the article." This is taking it a bit far, and a Google search revealed some webpages that mention him, e.g.. Still, the proposal for deletion isn't all that unreasonable, because I was unable to find that Nikitin has been a major well-known figure in triathlon sports. The content of the website I mentioned does not seem to give evidence of Nikitin passing the WP:NTRIATHLON criteria. Many of the citations linked to pages that didn't mention Nikitin at all. Therefore, I think this matter deserves discussion at AFD, and I am weakly supporting deletion at this point. Sjakkalle (Check!)  21:03, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * totaly agree. As an argument you can tranlate this topic on Russian triathlon forum there this guy is "unstripped" from all his false titles http://3athlon.borda.ru/?1-1-60-00000577-000-0-0-1318413182
 * plus here is the Igor Sysoev (famous russian traithlete) post in other russian site with some critical overview http://www.trilife.ru/blog/igorsysoev/show=689/ and but if you read (and translate) the comments you can see a confession from Никитин Евгений Сергеевич / BeasTMachine in this article's comments.

 * Delete - There is no evidence this person is competing at the top level in his sport. His ITU profile shows no competitions or results.  The claim that he was the 2010 World University Games champion in Rome is suspect for multiple reasons. There was no 2010 as they are held in odd years, but a check shows 2009 was in Belgrade and 2011 in Shenzhen.  There is a World University Triathlon Championship held in 2010 but it was in Valencia, Spain, and won by Etienne Diemunsch from France.  Fails both notability and verifiability. -- Whpq (talk) 18:36, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence of notability. Not mentioned in English Language sources. Russian sources have passing mentions showing him competing in three events with a best placing of 13th.  Tigerboy1966  02:37, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
