The guy walked backwards and was a soundman for a documentary. The Google snipped from the Guinness book of world records won't let me verify if it's really a "world record," but it doesn't sound like much. And even if it were--this subject does not deserve an entry. BTW, it's interesting that this is such a target for vandalism, given that the name doesn't generate a single hit in Google News: the Notre Dame student government president of the same name is more notable that this guy.

I'd vote for speedy delete! Jared Preston (talk) 23:14, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I too vote for a speedy deletion. How do we do it. the man is a crook! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.189.90 (talk) 21:29, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That's just not a helpful comment, and the closing administrator will probably ignore it. Drmies (talk) 21:53, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: 81.141.189.90 are 86.190.19.47 are socks per edit history (part of a pattern with this article that will likely continue). Fortunately, this is not a vote, so lots of anonymous editors with no history other than disruption who say "delete" will have no effect on the outcome here.

Delete without question unless someone can verify the world-record claim. Otherwise, merge and redirect as an entry in the list of exceptional persons at backward running. I don't think his notability and worthwhile content is sufficient to have a full page at this time, so if he's got one notable achievement, include it in the article about the topic of that achievement. If the achievement is (marginally at best IMO) notable, better to keep it together with everything about that topic (in the spirit of WP:BLP1E). This person does not seem to meet WP:ATHLETE notability standard. DMacks (talk) 22:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked 86.190.19.23 for the duration of this AfD, and will do so for any similar editors, who appear to be socks that merely disrupt the article and try to stack this !vote with votes, subject to other admins' objection. DMacks (talk) 02:34, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
