Deletion of Katharine (Katie) Ford

Comment: On general notabilty grounds, I could find no evidence for notability as I could not find any coverage.  The only item of significance was the self-published information about the cycling team from http://www.epilepsyforward.co.uk/team-epilepsy-forward here which includes the claims mentioned above.  But of course this isn't a reliable source.  With respect to looking at the guidelines for |athletes, the criteron of competing at the top of her sport is not satisfied.  There is a presumption that competing at the top level of her sport means she has risen above others at lower levels to compete at the pinnacle of her sport.  With respect to the Race Across America, the http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/subwebraam/raam.php?N_webcat_id=13 entry requirements for teams does not require any qualifying requirements.  In other words, there is nothing about the team race that would distinguish any entrant as notable, as the fact that they are entered only demonstrates that they entered the race and nothing else

Comment: Without voting either way, what would constitute the highest level of non-professional competition in the sport of cycling?  What would she have to compete in to meet this requirement of ?  The article has very little information, but if multi-day races of this sort are the highest level of non-professional competition, then she would be notable under  and should be kept.  If this race does not meet that requirement, obviously she is subject to deletion unless reliable third party sources can be found to establish notability independent of this race. And while writing about yourself is not encouraged,  does not automatically make the person non-notable; if the IP editor is correct that the author is the subject of the article, that itself does not justify deletion
