[edit] Notability

I have jsut removed a most of the article as unsourced. After a good bit of searching, I was able to find claims that the "World Yo-Yo Contest" is possibly notable, but no reliable sources showing this guy placing "fourth" in 1996. Their website doesn't list an overall "winner", rather results in five categories from 2000-2007. Results from prior to that are omitted.

Next up were the companies he supposedly worked for. Unverifiable and not notable.

Finally, there was the "Bay Area Classic Invitational" A google search of that term found 7 hits: 6 of them were this article and clones, all about Brown. Finally, there was an article in "satellite: spirituality week" about...Brown. I could find no evidence that this event exists outside of stuff about Brown.

So he (supposedly, not confirmed) won a non-notable event and (supposedly, not confirmed) placed fourth in an event that has a very weak claim to notability. I'll let this article sit for a bit, then I'll likely AfD it.
