It asserts no notability for its subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fsotrain09 (talk • contribs)

Keep - I thought that I better check that this chap exists! He does here. However, the article needs a thorough clean deleting those claims that are not verifiable. Within his, admitedly strange, field he seems notable. Bridgeplayer 22:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete only a very few people achieve notability by participation in niche sports such as competitive eating. The list of Mr. Reeves accomplishments does not suggest to me that he has. If non-trivial news coverage can be found to show that his contirbutions have been widely recognized per WP:BIO he should be kept but nothing that suggests such is found in the article.

Weak Delete I'm not sure that "top 12" qualifies for inclusion in this sport, even once the claims were verified. Tewfik^Talk 16:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
