- @ Drdpw: May I ask in what way, or what specific criteria you claim this does not meet? 331dot ( talk) 19:46, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- @ 331dot: Winning a single Competitive eating contest, albeit 5 times, does not equal notability as a competitive eater. Additionally, a Wikipedia search for the contest Cordes has won—the Cheese Eating Nationals—comes up empty, showing that the contest itself is non-notable. Also, the news articles used as citations in the article are from local papers, which shows that that Mr. Cordes's notability is very limited. There are wikipedia articles about several notable competitive eaters; Brian Cordes does not appear (to me at least) to be in the same class of notability as them.

- Delete at best and draft & userfy if needed as this is questionably solidly notable article for a solid article. Notifying DGG for analysis which I know is always beneficial. SwisterTwister talk 03:14, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
