Non-notable athlete. Only claim of notability is holding "Turkey's unofficial day/distance record by mountain bike." While I don't feel that an unofficial record can be used to establish notability, the issue is that the record doesn't seem to be verifiable. Google News produces no results and either does Google News Archive. Google returns nothing but a few blog postings. The only thing I did find is a listing of athletes involved in the Union Cycliste Internationale in which the subject is ranked below 1700 (doesn't actually have a ranking).

If I had to guess, this is an autobiographical puff piece. The only claim is dubious and any information about the individual seems to show that he's not particularly notable. Ol Yeller Talktome 21:56, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'm ignoring his running marathons. Although included in the article, there's no indication that he has competed beyond the national level.  I am also ignoring the "unofficial record".  The article asserts its unofficial because the the bike used is non-conformant to the rules.  Well, makes it not a record, not unofficial.  In any case, it's an unverified claim.  This leaves the only plausible assertion of notability being the claimed international competitions in mountain biking.  There is no coverage about him that I can find.  The above ranking sheet shows him with no ranking and no points.  There is no indication of which competitions he has competed in to determine if he meets the criteria of competing at the top level of his sport.  No prejudice to recreation if there is reliable documentation of notable competitions in the future. -- Whpq (talk) 19:42, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete I believe the editors above me described this very well. It also seems like there is some conflict of interest in this page. Ryan Vesey (talk) 03:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
