Robert Young (Pro Cyclist & Triathlete)

 * – ( View AfD View log )


 * Does not meet notability per WP:NCYCLING or WP:NTRIATHLON.
 * Claims that these criteria are even close to having been met need close examination. For example, 10th place in age group at World Championship presented as 10th in World Championship, where ranking was actually 177th; repeated (now deleted) claims of having participated for Team Milram in high profile road race cycling events easily disproven by reference to published start lists and squad listings.


 * Requests for sources have been routinely deleted by creator, and PROD was deleted without any reason being offered.
 * Page is recreation of similarly unsourced, Peacocky and ungrammatical article on same sportsman created, and deleted, by Milram 2010 and Milramteam.
 * Creator, clearly a sockpuppet of those named above, has been repeatedly informed that his/her username is in breach of WP:GROUPNAME.  Kevin McE (talk) 08:43, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination. My proposed deletion on the same grounds was contested without explanation by the article's creator. Scopecreep (talk) 07:47, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This is the fourth attempt to list this person, after Robert Young (triathlete) (started at AfC Nov 2011), Robert young (1982) (12 Mar), and Robert Young (pro-cyclist) (17 Mar). The creator is now trying to blank the page, as happened with previous versions, but as directed by the afd1 template it should not be blanked until the AfD is concluded. We should let this run so that the dodginess of the claims is recorded and any future attempts can be speedy-deleted under WP:CSD. JohnCD (talk) 12:05, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
