Article doesn't say why this person is notable. Appears to nothing other than personal advertising. Suttungr (talk) 05:01, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs clean-up, better sourcing and expansion, but the subject is certainly notable. The nom's statement that the "article does not say why this person is notable" is clearly incorrect. The article does say that he "is the world's best known unicyclist". There is a large amount of newscoverage of him: 129 googlenewshits, a number of them with specific and detailed coverage (e.g. this). A few quotes for these newsstories:"Kris Holm, 29, a Canadian whose claim to sporting greatness is that he is the world's leading practitioner of the sport of mountain unicycling", "Canadian Kris Holm, a cult hero in the emerging sport of mountain unicycling", etc. Pretty clearly passes WP:BIO.

 * Delete it doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE. It also looks like spam for Kris Holm Unicycles, his own brand of unicycles. A ntv (talk) 07:33, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
