[edit] Scott Eder

Notability in question --NMChico24 04:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Presuming everything said in the article is true (and it seems like much of it comes from the bio on his website), he is more notable than many of the other people categorized as American triathletes. As the "first manager/agent for multiple Tour de France Champion Lance Armstrong" and having "completed more than 140 triathlons, qualified for and finished the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon and The Boston Marathon", I'm willing to grant him notability. joturner 05:13, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment That is precisely my point. All of his sources are from his own website. Are there any notable publications independent of this person who have printed any information about him? --NMChico24 22:43, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• very weak keep until notability can be asserted but the article at least needs a major rewrite. Pascal.Tesson 05:53, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep and clean up per above. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 06:11, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep per above. SM247^{My Talk} 10:39, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Assuming good faith -- Alias Flood 17:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Self published sources can say anything they want. Advertise while getting cleaned up. Are there any other reliable secondary sources that make this person any better than thousands of other atheletes? I know what you'll say. You'll say "but 90% of the rest of Wikipedia" is the same. I say that 90% of the rest of Wikipedia is that way because people are too busy expanding the size rather than improving the quality. Ste4k 18:03, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn. Wikibout-Talk to me! 22:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I found what I believe is an independent source from Host Communications (his employer) that lists his accomplishments that are claimed in his article/personal website. [1] His accomplishments do demonstrate his notability. Royalbroil 04:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
