Sean Curtin[edit]

Fails WP:NSPORT and hence the general notability guidelines. The subject of the article seems to have one U.S. national title in a particular format of archery, and has also placed highly in various junior tournaments. Although the creator of the article (who has made no edits to any other pages) describes Curtin as "a US Olympic Champion" (?), these accomplishments seem to have been the peak of his career. Archery is far from a major sport, and this is reflected in the (complete) lack of sources actually covering the subject of the article (rather than merely mentioning him).

Delete - The double gold olympic champion seems to be puffery as the events that contribute to it are not olympic events, nor is there any evidence the individual was ever a member of an olympic team. I tried checking the FITA athlete database and could not find an entry for him. This would suggest that he has not participated in competitions at the highest level of his sport. -- Whpq (talk) 11:23, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
