I think this is a hoax vanity. While there may or may not be a strongest man competition (a quick google search left me doubtful) This particular individual was no where in google - with or without the middle name. Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 19:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as hoax. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Minor comment: "hoax" is not in the criteria for speedy deletion in fact there is an explicit exception for hoaxes.  ~a (user • talk • contribs) 15:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Please read further. The hoax exception states that "Occasionally these can be deleted as vandalism if the article is obviously ridiculous".  Since the "Strongest Man in the World committee" does not exist, or is so obscure that Google hasn't heard of it, that makes the article pretty ridiculous in my opinion.

 * Yeah, i noticed that after posting my comment. Sorry then.  ~a (user • talk • contribs) 16:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

 * He really is the worlds strongest man.
 * Matthew Edward Sikora is on the student roster for SUNY Brockport and it turns out that Brockport actually holds a competition called "The Strongest Man in the World" and Matt Sikora won in 2005 for his fraternity, Alpha Chi Rho] Molmdaw 04:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)molmdaw
 * Do you have a reference? ~a (user • talk • contribs) 19:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if that is the case, it still doesn't show notability. Brockport may call it The Strongest Man in the World"  but that doesnt mean much--it means the strongest frat boy at Brockport, which is NN.DGG 01:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
