• SpectreFeldspar, I can't rightly figure out what the problem is after looking at the article. You should probably have a look at WP:BIOSELF real quick, which also has an email link for OTRS, the group of volunteers who handle these issues. Right now, I see nothing controversial, and I think that someone who won gold at the Canada games (I'll ping my Canadian right-hand man, User:Kelapstick) is more or less automatically notable per our guidelines (so you might not get it deleted this way). So have a look at that BIOSELF section and take it from there. Drmies (talk) 04:24, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
  • I don't think that the Canada Games equates to de facto notability Drmies. Per WP:NSPORTS, track and athletics (closed we have to archery) only lists finishing in the top 8 of the Commonwealth Games and European Athletics Championships. So I wouldn't say finishing in first in the Canada Games equates to the same notability.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 06:13, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

I agree with Drmies 100%. This article was originally created in 2007 by TSN as a form of advertisement for their coverage of the Canada Winter Games. Records of every games is available through Archery Canada, and the Winter Games origination. I don't think a record of them needs to be kept on Wikipedia as well.

• SpectreFeldspar, I think you are agreeing with Kelapstick. And the article was not created by "TSN" (we have a user with that name, who has nothing to do with any of this) but by TristanLebel (talk · contribs), who made some really questionable edits before disappearing. So I can't help but wonder where this "TSN" comes from--please explain. At any rate, I do not see a pressing BLP concern, nor did you tell me of one, so this should be left to the AfD discussion. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:58, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
  • Drmies TSN is the Canadian version of ESPN, except they have less NASCAR and more curling. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 19:23, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
    • Kelapstick, that is great news; I sure hope you get to watch the Alabama games. But my question was really how the supposedly brand-new editor makes the statements in this edit which, even if true, would require some deeper experience with and knowledge of Wikipedia.

      • Kelapstick I was there. I'm the person who is the subject of this article. TSN, and people who were working with them at the time used the wiki to publish results of the games as some kind of "official repository". Just because I'm a new user does not mean I do not know anything. As well, the problem with this article is it doesn't contribute to the greater knowledge of humanity. While it is a personal achievement it is not a large international sporting event either, it's just a national competition. This article was created for publicity.
        • I looked at more than a half dozen articles, biographies that are linked from Events at the 2007 Canada Games, and I don't see any evidence whatsoever that they were written as a coordinated effort. A whole bunch are recent (2016) and written by a trusted user (an exercise scientist); others are from 2013 and 2009. I do not see any proof that this article was created for publicity, and I still don't see how this article is a danger to any living person. Let's see how the AfD goes.
