NOT NOTABLE. Herp Derp (talk) 05:03, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:ONEEVENT - a) If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. - this is certainly the case here. b) If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. - the article clearly states "...He says he's trying to lay low. He doesn't want the attention." Ren99 wha? 05:25, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There was a burst of coverage in April, 2012, and then. . . . nothing. The subject does not want the attention . Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:29, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Summarize and redirect to List of Internet phenomena#Images. This is just notable enough to mention in the list of Internet phenomena, but not notable enough for its own entry. Given that the guy in question doesn't want an article about him, I'd recommend that the blurb reads as follows:

Ridiculously Photogenic Guy: A photo that showed a man running a race and looking photogenic. The image became popular after it was posted to Flickr in April 2012.

It doesn't have to be very long or anything, but there's been just enough coverage to where it'd merit a mention. There just hasn't been enough long term coverage to show that he deserves his own article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:33, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete internet memes are now a dime a dozen. By all accounts, this is not encyclopaedic material and should be expunged forthwith Ohconfucius ^{ping / poke} 06:38, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
