This list is unsourced. There is no evidence that this concept is notable. And, also, it is very short. We should not have a separate list article if only two individuals fulfill the criteria for inclusion. And, by the way, the incusion criteria is very vague. What doe that mean to be "known for their accomplishments"? We are all known to somebody for some accomplishments. Vanjagenije (talk) 21:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A non-notable concept. There are 2,000 non-professional finishers in this race each year [1]. The two individuals listed should simply just have [[Category:Triathlete]] added to their article. Barkeep^Chat/_$ 14:09, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Ironman World Championship. If people have their participation reported in reliable sources such as[2][3] they can be mentioned in the article on the event, but it doesn't mean this is a notable article subject. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:04, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
