Talk:Mark Allen (triathlete)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

_ _ So what is being covered up about '94? 2nd? Failed to finish? Injured & couldn't compete?
_ _ Year of marriage? (I inferred still married; is that so?) Nationality?

[edit] subject to debate

"...No triathlete has gained the recognition or success that Mark Allen has...." is debatable. Some would argue Paula Newby-Fraser or Dave Scott. I'm just conversing here a bit...if one Googles "most successful triathlete" you get hits for Simon Lessing, Vanessa Fernandes, Emma Carney ...Googling "most famous triathlete" returns hits on Dave Scott...guess I'd petition for the qualifier "arguably" to be added. --Billymac00 (talk) 04:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

This page reads like marketing, not reference. Triathlete Mark Allen _should_ have a page, but it needs to be referential, not reverential. Please rewrite this article, or be prepared to have others do it for you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.213.217.230 (talk) 22:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] unreferenced/notability

I have replaced the "notability" tag with "unreferenced". There is no doubt about his notability - he is mentioned in plenty of books and articles. I could improve this article, but I have other priorities at the moment. I hope someone else will improve it, he deserves a quality article.

[edit] Ironman results

surely he had other than 1st place finishes? table should include the rest ...--Billymac00 (talk) 03:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
