• agree. Ianb 21:47, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete after merging, unless a rewrite can be done to discuss the title and how it is determined in general, past holders, etc. Geogre 00:03, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Merge with and redirect to Paddy Doyle. Redirect can change once somebody else gains the title. Spectatrix 00:05, 2004 Jul 28 (UTC)
• Paddy Doyle is enough. "Fittest" is too subjective. Fit for what? I'm sure there are people in the world who can do many physical things better than this guy... Delete.Fire Star 01:27, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • The title is apparently given to the winner of the World Physical Fitness Challenge, which Paddy has set a new record for. Change of suggestion: rename World's Fittest Man article to World Physical Fitness Challenge with history, prior title-holders, etc. if someone is willing to undertake the task.

• Merge and redirect somewhere appropriate. If "World's Fittest Man" is indeed the official title given by the World Physical Fitness Challenge, then this shouldn't be deleted altogether, just redirected to the appropriate place, which is preferably an article on the World Physical Fitness Challenge (as Spectatrix said), or, until that exists, to the article on the person who currently holds the title. Regarding Fire Star's comment about it being too subjective: this would be subjective if it were World's fittest man, but since it's World's Fittest Man, it's a title rather than a concept. - Eisnel 18:36, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Ah, yes, the distinction hadn't occurred to me. That makes sense. I'll change to rename (or at least point out the distinction a bit more), merge or redirect. Fire Star 13:44, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
