[edit] Cody Pepper

Cody Pepper (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:BIO. "Cody Pepper" gets 300 Google hits, many of which are unrelated to Taekwondo. He won an amateur competition, but since it was not reported in the mainstream press anywhere on the Internet, I cannot consider that a source of notability. There's also strong evidence of WP:COI to promote Mr. Pepper's taekwondo academy. Shalom ^Hello 13:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. - RPIRED 13:50, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per above. A speaking engagement at a college, an interview for a local TV network and a blog about how he was best man at someone's wedding. Other than the amateur competition, that's it. Non-notable--Ispy1981 15:58, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as an obvious violation of WP:AUTO. Article largely written by Cpepper and Atalifeskills (subject's business). "World Championship" was not awarded by the recognized organizing body of the sport, so the title's legitimacy is questionable (as is the subject's claim to notability).
