Non-notable athlete; coverage is all superficial local stuff. Orange Mike | Talk 07:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article makes a rather specific claim of notability per WP:N in terms of his efforts to run a series of 52 marathons over a span of a year, and backs uo that claim of notability with a few dozen reliable and verifiable sources that include major newspapers and magazines, who were covering Rauschenberg and his efforts to achieve his goal. So many articles discussed at AfD make tenuous claims of notability and are kept with the argument that there may well be more sources available. This article far exceeds the standards of retention in Wikipedia in general and goes well beyond nearly all articles kept at AfD. Alansohn (talk) 16:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
