Keep - 4th placed in Commonwealth Games decathlon: [1] MER-C 11:16, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
*Keep per MER-C, but prune. Reads like vanity. If he actually finished 4th in the decathalon where the article gives him a bronze medal, then I question the accuracy and truthfulness of the entire page. Resolute 20:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - the Official Commonwealth Games [2] results for the 1986 Decathlon read as follows:
-
- Gold Francis "Daley" Morgan Thompson England 8663
- Silver David Lee Steen Canada 8173
- Bronze Simon Poelman New Zealand 8015
- 4 Bradley "Brad" Steven McStravick Scotland 7563
- 5 Stuart John Andrews Australia 7512
- 6 Gordon David Orlikow Canada 7424
- 7 Michael Cameron Smith Canada 7363
- 8 Simon Shirley Australia 7290
- 9 Gregory "Greg" Roy Richards England 7278
- 10 Albert Barry Miller Fiji 7158
- 11 Alfred "Alf" Muir Oddie Isle of Man 6058
- - Eugene Albert Emery Gilkes England dnf
- - Peter Fossey Australia dnf
Me thinkest that DNF does not equal Bronze. SkierRMH 00:00, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete I was alerted that Mer-C's link is actually for the Australian competition, not the Commonwealth games itself. Might still be borderline notable given that he did compete in the Commonwealth Games, but the glaring inaccuracies push it to the wrong side of that border. Resolute 00:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, does not satisfy WP:BIO or Wikipedia:Notability (academics), claim of medal not supported by [3] as noted in my prod nomination. Accurizer 02:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
