Proposed deletion. Following the USADA decision, the palmares for Lance Armstrong has been significantly reduced, and in line with palmares of similar length for other athletes theres is no longer a reason why it needs to be a seperate article. On November 12, 2012 I moved the palmares of notable professional results to the main article Lance Armstrong and it remains there without editorial dispute and as such there is no need for the information to be duplicated Dimspace (talk) 13:26, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete This article is obviously not needed given what's in the main article; it could have probably been speedied as an A10. § FreeRangeFrog 19:47, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the main page rather than deleting entirely, as a likely search term. Siuenti (talk) 01:13, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect in agreement with Siuenti. -- No  unique  names  01:22, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect as the person who raised it, i agree with redirecting. ideally to the palmares section of the main article. Dimspace (talk) 15:21, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Unless I'm missing something, the fact that Lance Armstrong is being stripped of a large number of titles makes a list of those titles more relevant/notable, not less?  d avid p rior  t/c 22:07, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * *Comment The point being that because his list of achievements is now, real estate wise relatively small and is included in the main Lance Armstrong article, a secondary article duplicating that information is superfluous. The list of stripped titles is still shown on his palmares on the main article page, behind a hidden tagDimspace (talk) 02:44, 19 November 2012 (UTC)


 * No Redirect. Not that it matters. But is "List of career achievements by Lance Armstrong" something that someone is going to type into that little search box? I would type "Lance Armstrong" and then follow links if what I want isn't there. Not that it matters. Dingo1729 (talk) 22:45, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Even if no-one types it directly, they might go from say "List of career achievements by Wiggo" by changing the "Wiggo" in the URL to "Lance Armstrong". More importantly people may have bookmarked it or linked to it from outside Wikipedia, this prevents link rot. Siuenti (talk) 21:21, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Still seems unlikely. But whatever. Dingo1729 (talk) 22:06, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
