 * Delete – A classic case of flying under the radar, though "radar" is a deceptive description owing to the lack of proactive editors among the community. Article has existed for over a dozen years and in that time never had any stub templates or Alaska-related categories added to it, nor has the talk page seen any additions beyond the WP Biography banner, which is customarily added to BLPs.  Accomplishments as a dog musher are underwhelming, to say the least.  I found the current link at the Iditarod website.  It says that he's been "in the money" (finishing in the top twenty) in his Iditarod career, but it probably wasn't enough to cover his expenses.

 * Delete This article is a classic example of why Wikipedia needs a more morderated article creation process.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:46, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete No significant independent coverage. Just competing in the Iditarod doesn't make him notable.Sandals1 (talk) 18:06, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete How did this article survive for so long on WP without being AfD'ed. Zero notability and not even sourced (his bio link is broken) ???? Britishfinance (talk) 20:08, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
