Similar to page on Underwater Boxing currently under AfD. Perhaps move this to Aqua Cycling and do a complete re-write. &mdash; Gaff ταλκ 13:42, 13 October 2014 (UTC) &mdash; Gaff  ταλκ 13:42, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep The nomination does not provide a reason to delete and the topic seems quite notable. Moving the topic and/or rewriting it would be ordinary editing not requiring deletion. AFD is not cleanup. Andrew (talk) 17:06, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Sorry, I assumed the link provided to discussion on Underwater Boxing -- Articles_for_deletion/Underwater_Boxing implied reasons for deletion.  This article is about Underwater bicycle racing, of which the notability is not apparent.  The references are not about racing.  The article is written such that it is promotional for "The Underwater Bike Race is an annual charity fundraiser held in North Carolina."  None of the references are about racing.  So in terms of cleanup, do we just delete the lede and need to start a whole new article? I've seen other AfD discussions that end in delete if the article is written about an entirely different topic, under a given namespace. &mdash; Gaff  ταλκ 17:26, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Addt'l comment: If I am clearly mistaken, please close discussion as Keep and withdraw nomination. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaff (talk • contribs) 17:30, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
