ChiRunning

Some time ago I nominated this page for G11. Someone offered to fix it and so the db tag was removed. Despite some work, it never stopped looking like a press release. However, the true issue is that no one who has worked in this page has been able to find any neutral third-party references. A quick Google search did not turn up anything beyond press releases, advertisements, and product reviews. None of those can establish notability. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that no amount of work can save this article without reliable sources to back the claims and statements. That is why I am calling for this article to be deleted. Ipatrol (talk) 01:20, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. At this pint, the "sport" appears non-notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 07:03, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep The topic is clearly notable and there are numerous sources - here's just one, for example. Nomination seems impatient but AFD is not cleanup and Wikipedia has no deadline. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:30, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If a quick Google search didn't turn up reliable sources, the nominator needs to learn how to do a proper search! Within seconds on a Google News search I found articles in the Irish Times,[1] Washington Post,[2] CanWest,[3] USNews,[4] Christian Science Monitor,[5] etc. etc. Fences&Windows 21:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
