- Comment I took a second look at this one and am less sure if it should be a delete. WP:ATHLETE indicates that the subject should compete at the professional or Olympic level (paraphrase), but I do not think think that Ultra-triathlons can be classified in either category. In any case, the subject has won some races in "IUTA" events, which apparently is a (the?) ultra triathlon association. The sport itself seems only borderline notable at first glance, with the WP article less than a month old and so far not a lot of third party references. If no one else has an opinion on this article, perhaps the best thing is to close the AfD as a weak keep and hope the references improve with time? Jminthorne (talk) 04:51, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep without prejudice to re-submit. I'm kinda leaning that way too... give the article time to "Brew" in wikiland and let's revisit again. --Paul McDonald (talk) 03:57, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
