This article was created by a newly registered user "Pnevin"; it appears to be a complete fabrication, and was newly created on April 27, 2015. The article asserts that a Canadian swimmer by that name competed in the 1976 Summer Olympics; Sports-Reference.com lists no Olympic athlete by that name in 1976, or any other year. The article also asserts that Nevin won gold medals at the 1978 Commonwealth Games; GBRathletics.com lists no Commonwealth Games medalist by that name in 1978 or any other year. The article includes a category for California Golden Bears men's swimmers, but the most recent media guide for UC Berkeley Cal Bears men's swimming lists no letterman by that or any similar name. This article appears to be an outright fraud or hoax. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:27, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
