Notability[edit]

In September 2011, Template:Notability was added to the article, claiming that "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies".

In my opinion, Brad Ludden is notable.

Wikipedia's guideline to evaluate whether or not a sports person meets the general notability guideline, states that:

A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published non-trivial secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.

Brad Ludden has been the subject of such sources, for example:

Boyd, Tom (2008). "The Many Dimensions of Brad Ludden". Vail-Beaver Creek Magazine. Retrieved 15 December 2012. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)
Schaffer, Grayson (2005). "Current Attractions". Outdoor Magazine. Retrieved 15 December 2012. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)
Ballard, Chris (March 17, 2003). "Show Boaters: Brad Ludden plots his blockbuster: six kayakers, six continents -- with a Hollywood ending". Sport Illustrated Magazine. Retrieved 15 December 2012.

Therefore, he is notable.
