Clifton Emmet "Cliff" Cushman

Lack of referenced notability LeyteWolfer (talk) 02:41, 23 April 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Delete: fails notability, and most of it seems like a complete hoax. Dwilso 03:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Not a hoax; see here and this Google Search. Part of the article is, however, largely plagiarized from first two references. He did win a silver medal in the Olympics, so Weak Keep if someone fixes the plagiarism; Delete otherwise. TallNapoleon (talk) 05:48, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Clifton Cushman. All competitors at the Olympics are automatically notable. See http://www2.kusports.com/news/2006/sep/21/gameday_flyover_would_be_fitting_tribute_cushman/ --Eastmain (talk) 15:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Clifton Cushman. The Olympics would certainly be the highest level for an amateur athlete, so meets WP:ATHLETE.--Fabrictramp (talk) 23:10, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD Originator agress with this merge concept (if this article even has anything to add to the Clifton Cushman, which as great references). I seem to recall hearing about this spectacular mistake, so no doubt noteworthy in my mind. In any case, one article has value; the other not.--LeyteWolfer (talk) 05:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge anything useful to Clifton Cushman (not that there appears to be that much, but still). Olympian silver medalists are of course notable, but this article is a duplicate. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 11:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]
