Author removed the PROD tag with no explanation, claim of notability seems false and BC horseshoue association doesn't seem notable. Lil Johnny (talk) (contribs) 17:21, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'll begrudgingly consider that it makes a credible claim of significance and so is exempt from speedy deletion. Note, however, that the subject is not actually listed in the championship records linked, neither for the Canadian Junior Boys Horseshoe Pitching Championship (including the B Class), nor the provincial British Columbia Junior Boys Division. All that aside, WP:NSPORTS restricts most athlete coverage to "competition at the highest level"; even if he were a high school champion, that would not meet the standard (which, for horseshoes, would be the NHPA World Tournament).

Speedy Delete neither source listed actually backs up the claims in the article. The article as a whole is absurd. Power~enwiki (talk) 19:41, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete subject is not mentioned in either of the two sources and searching does not result in an coverage. Article does not have a credible claim of significance and seems like a hoax. --Imminent77 (talk) 20:06, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. No credible claim of significance is being made, and no reliable source coverage about him is being shown. Although I doubt that the article is an outright hoax per se, it is indeed a silly article which claims nothing noteworthy or verifiable or even interesting — this is a jokey stunt between classmates, if anything.

Speedy delete: No evidence of notability. --Guy Macon (talk) 20:50, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
