Notability and sources[edit]

I've removed the PROD. An Olympic athlete is notable. However, sourcing is an issue and in particular, it appears his name is incorrect. Based on this reference, he should be at Larry Millers, so I'll move the article. -- Whpq (talk) 17:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good, I'm glad we finally have at least one source for this article. --Beefyt (talk) 17:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have time right now to dig any further so I've marked the article for reference improvement, and marked it as a stub. One thing that is puzzling is the term "heptagonal". I'm guessing that "heptathalon" is what was meant. But some sourcing sure would help figure it out! -- Whpq (talk) 22:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/yale/sports/m-track/auto_pdf/outdoor_records.pdf might be useful -- Whpq (talk) 20:32, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

According to Yale, it appears the name should be Larry Miller. -- Whpq (talk) 03:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also [1]. Probably should switch it back. --Beefyt (talk) 23:56, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right. I'll slap a {{db-move}} on the redirect to clear it out of way so the page can be moved back. Thanks for finding the source. -- Whpq (talk) 02:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
