Sei Wee Lim

I think this is a hoax. It's never been sourced and I can find no mention anywhere of a swimmer called Sei Wee Lim or Lim Sei Wee. The claim that he won the 100m breaststroke gold at the 1999 SEA games is false; this was won by Elvin Chia from Malaysia.[1] Fences&Windows 19:28, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's been tagged as unsourced since 2006. I did a reference search when I performed a POV tidy on the article and also came up empty handed. If the information that bolsters a notability claim in a WP:BLP article cannot be verified, it needs to be deleted. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^shhh 20:00, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I too think this is a hoax. Article subject is categorised as a swimmer at 2002 Commonwealth Games - Brunei has never sent swimmers to the Commonwealth games, as far as I can make out. Also, my research suggests Elvin Chia also won gold in the 100m breaststroke at 2001 SEA games, so I don't see how someone else could have broken the event record.

Delete - either a hoax or an autobiography that has been blown out of proportion with fanciful claims (non-notable either way); the editing history of the page makes it pretty clear that something fishy is going on. Fences & Windows and Brilliantine have pointed out that the only hope this person has of passing WP:ATHLETE is not even applicable, as the claim is untrue.
