Connor Traut[edit]

A auto biographical article by a high school student. Claim to notability is that he is the ABA BMX "13 Rookie" National Champion, although the source used [1], shows he came second in a junior class. I don't believe this meet WP:BIO generally, since there is no verifiable, third party coverage to show this is significant. I also think it fails WP:ATHLETE, since I believe the intention of "Competitors who have competed at the highest level in amateur sports" is to cover Olympic-level athletes, not one of several hundred junior competitors in this competition.

Delete Fails WP:BIO. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 08:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Inflated claims. Fails WP:ATHLETE--clearly a second place novice finish in an underage category isn't competing at the highest level of sport, nor is it a national championship, which the article asserts. As per the excellent nom, clearly fails WP:BIO generally, insufficient third-party coverage by reliable sources. Darkspots (talk) 13:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Unreferenced mess. As nominator points out, claims are inflated, although I do like the bit about the rock band. TN‑X-Man 17:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just FYI, both speedy and Prod deletions have already been tried for this article, hence the AfD discussion. Best, Gwernol 11:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
