[edit] James Zhou

No references to the guy on google/web generally. Also question notability manchesterstudent 23:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

OFSAA does not list individual athlete's achievements or biographies. by Jamesino

• Delete nn high school athlete. Possible vanity article. The few results that show up on google ([1]) don't show him as very impressive. Fan1967 23:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Site created by user Jamesino. Vanity article highly likely. Certainly not notable or encylopedic. Consider speedy delete? User making changes to article after AFD nomination. --manchesterstudent 00:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

its real--Jamesino 00:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Real is not the question. Is James Zhou notable? Can you show any press coverage, any exceptional results or accomplishments? Fan1967 00:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Check photofinishes at OFSAA Track and Field. --Jamesino 00:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Please provide a specific link. I can't find any finish better than third place, and most are much worse. Even a win or two wouldn't make a "Midget Boys" racer notable, unless there is significant press coverage or attention. Fan1967
• Delete References or not, it's a non-notable 15-year-old athlete. -- Kicking222 01:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

He is notable--Jamesino 21:04, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment This is Sébastien Lalonde and I am in charge of timing races at all major competitions held in Ottawa (at the Terry Fox Athelics Facility) including the NCSSAA Championship that James Zhou ran in. Our timing systems name input had a mixup between James Zhou from Colonel By and Spencer Bell from Canterbury so James Zhou did indeed win that race.-Sébastien Lalonde

• Comment ^ No he's not

• Speedy Delete tag added given the silly debate by the schoolboy above trying to list himself on Wiki. Vanity Article now clear. Most certainly not notable. --manchesterstudent 22:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

very notable

just because the information is unavailable on Google, does not mean it is notable. Google is not the only place for information. News channels and local newspaper are sources as well. Just because it is not on Google, doesn't mean it is not notable.--Jamesino 23:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
