Talk:Chad Young

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have no wish to denigrate this young man's memory or to cause upset to his family and friends, but riders at CT level are not generally considered to meet notability guidelines. There was no apparent interest in considering his nascent career worthy of an article while he was alive, and his tragic death has not been considered widely newsworthy beyond the limited scope of cycling media. A desperately sad situation, but Wikipedia articles should not be created as memorials. Kevin McE (talk) 10:24, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Procedural note: I see that I made the error of starting this process while I was on the talk page rather than the article itself. Could an admin change it to be more appropriately directed if it is in their power alone, or alert me how to do this if I can.  Apologies. Kevin McE (talk) 11:13, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * WITHDRAW: I have now started the procedure in the right place. Kevin McE (talk) 11:17, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
