Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marty McLoughlin
from noninator: Oh, OK, I entirely missed #Athletics/Track & Field and long-distance running. For some reason it is listed under "Professional sports persons" and I only looked under "Amateur sports persons" (I always thought track-and-field was not popular enough to support professionals, and McLoughlin was certainly and amateur I assume). So the Keep points above are well taken. '''BUT'''. The second point remains, there are no references and apparently none easily findable. , which requires some articles or press notices or something about the person, trumps the athlete standards. The  page states (in boldface) "The article must provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the criteria" and also "Standalone articles are required to meet the General Notability Guideline". So, no, I would still maintain that the person is not notable
