Keep - 4th placed in Commonwealth Games decathlon: MER-C 11:16, 29 December 2006 (UTC) *Keep per MER-C, but prune. Reads like vanity. If he actually finished 4th in the decathalon where the article gives him a bronze medal, then I question the accuracy and truthfulness of the entire page. Resolute 20:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:BIO. MER-C 02:57, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Me thinkest that DNF does not equal Bronze. SkierRMH 00:00, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I was alerted that Mer-C's link is actually for the Australian competition, not the Commonwealth games itself. Might still be borderline notable given that he did compete in the Commonwealth Games, but the glaring inaccuracies push it to the wrong side of that border. Resolute 00:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not satisfy WP:BIO or Notability (academics), claim of medal not supported by as noted in my prod nomination. Accurizer 02:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
