Scott Simpson (triathlete)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can't find enough independent non-local WP:RS to indicate that he passes WP:GNG. There is no WP:SNG for triathletes, but I suspect that simply competing in the world championships isn't enough in the absence of sourcing.

I checked Google, GBooks, GNews, and found very little. The one book result is a first-person account of running a triathalon, and the result from Dignitas International says right at the bottom that he works for them, so it isn't independent. Otherwise all coverage is local to Toronto. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 16:39, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment There is this notability guidance for triathletes: WP:NTRIATHLON. But I don't think this individual passes that.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 08:51, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I'm not sure how I managed to miss that. But yeah it looks like he doesn't meet the bar. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 08:54, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
