Randall Stone

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Huh? Even after reading the (long) article I can't see why this is here. Looks like an elaborate vanity page. &mdash; Chowbok  ☠  17:52, 27 April 2008 (UTC) 
 * Userfy to User:Randallstone. Although User:Randallstone did not create the article, he has edited it. As a second choice, delete per WP:BIO and WP:COI. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Question - Does he qualify under WP:Athlete as having competed at the highest level of his sport? I don't know if the world triathalon championships are professional or the highest non league sport or not...but if they are, he qualifies for an article.

 * Comment. If Stone WP:Verifiably competed for Team USA Triathlon or at the USA national championships, he would pass WP:BIO. No WP:RS are currently cited, and I can't find one independent of Stone. Beyond that, the obvious COI edits do not appear to be major. His Special Olympics work gets him some RS attention, but he currently falls short. • Gene93k (talk) 18:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: Frankly, I smell a rat. There are only 23 Google hits with "Randall Stone" + "triathlon" + "USA", and each and every one is either this article, a Wiki mirror, or some business promotional website.  There is not a single hit from an athletics-based website, official or otherwise.  The USA Triathlon team doesn't seem to have a website I can find which might verify team members, but the team didn't start holding organized tryouts for the Worlds before 1999.
