[edit] Chris Lear

This was a non-notable biography as per the criteria set out in WP:BIO. (aeropagitica) 21:04, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

He has 53 reviews on Amazon.com as well as one from Library Journal while Running with the Buffaloes merited inclusion as an article, which focusses on an athlete now very much in the "world-class" bracket after impressive finishes in the most recent World Cross-Country CHampionships, as well as in the Sydney Olympics. I was interested in reading an article on Lear having read his books, and when I found no article, I felt validated in making one by virtue of the fact that I came to read about him. Why does this article require deletion? I will of course respect your opinion on the matter as I am very much a wikipedia novice with this article being my first contribution. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by EDignan89 (talk • contribs).

Firstly, please sign your Talk page comments with four tildes, ~~~~, as this greatly assists in an editors' ability to respond. Secondly, the article did not assert any instance of notability as per WP:BIO, as I stated earlier. If you read through the guidelines and decide that this person is notable, try developing the article in a user sub-page, making each notable point clear and providing reliable sources and references.
