• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 15:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - I thought that I better check that this chap exists! He does here. However, the article needs a thorough clean deleting those claims that are not verifiable. Within his, admitedly strange, field he seems notable. Bridgeplayer 22:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete only a very few people achieve notability by participation in niche sports such as competitive eating. The list of Mr. Reeves accomplishments does not suggest to me that he has. If non-trivial news coverage can be found to show that his contirbutions have been widely recognized per WP:BIO he should be kept but nothing that suggests such is found in the article.

• Weak Delete I'm not sure that "top 12" qualifies for inclusion in this sport, even once the claims were verified. Tewfik^Talk 16:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
