I originally prodded this article as a non-notable mixed-martial arts sportsperson. In response, a lot of purported world / national championship medal claims were added. However the links given as sources go nowhere, a Google search for "Marc Dawson judo championship" given show no pertinent results and a quick check of the medal claims in the table show that the medal claims are fake.

• Speedy Delete Medal winners are listed (see 2010 World Judo Championships and 2011 World Judo Championships) and he is not listed. Same exercise for the other championships also yield a blank.Peter Rehse (talk) 11:35, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I found no evidence of any of the championships he claimed. According to the IJF website and results pages, he wasn't even one of Canada's two competitors in that weight class at either world championship where he supposedly won medals. Astudent0 (talk) 17:54, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This is an unsourced BLP. My reasearch not only didn't find all the titles claimed, it found evidence that they weren't true. Papaursa (talk) 02:17, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
