This article has been put up again - I propose that it is deleted once more, as per the discussion here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eggdisk (talk • contribs) 12:38, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

The article reads like self-promotional fluff, with aspects of it cut and pasted from the subjects personal website. Summiting Mount Kilamanjaro and running a few marathons does not make you noteworthy. As above, it has already been previously deleted. Eggdisk (talk) 06:57, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - I completed the nomination for the user, copying the rationale from the bottom of the previous AfD page . ansh 666 10:16, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete The references seem to lack a third party voice. Much of what I'm reading is what this guy has to say about himself. ShelbyMarion (talk) 03:17, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete A good deal of the article is about his amateur sports life, but that doens't add up to notability. (About 2/3 of the references are on his sports achievements.) His business activities also do not arise to notability. I find name-checks, one extended first-person interview, and at least one article listed seems to be totally irrelevant and doesn't even mention him. LaMona (talk) 03:44, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete as my searches simply found nothing better to convince keeping compared to the current article. Notifying tagger and past AfDer .  SwisterTwister   talk  21:56, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete; no solid secondary coverage, as most everything is just news reports. Nyttend (talk) 22:51, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
