Note: this is not my AFD, I'm good-faith submitting it for the IP who wanted it.

congratulations on completing the Iditarod, being from such a warm climate and competing in such an extreme race in a cold climate took some preserverance.

proposed for deletion - this is an obvious vanity page, submitted by the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.59.48.178 (talk) 20:26, 15 October 2009 (UTC) tedder (talk) 17:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I must agree, I personally consider it quite impressive to finish that race. Regardless, particularly without backing from independent sources, merely finishing the race is not sufficient cause for an entry on Wikipedia. -Verdatum (talk) 20:35, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not verifiably notable. Claim to fame is being the first from Georgia to complete the race. Location (talk) 22:53, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
