Fails WP:GNG through lack of significant coverage, with the English, Norwegian, and Swedish Wikipedia's all lacking this coverage. Further, a WP:BEFORE search found nothing.

Fails WP:NOLYMPICS due to not medalling. BilledMammal (talk) 14:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Olympia and sports reference are both the hyper comprehensive type of sources that do not add up to acceptable coverage according to the inclusion criteria for sportspeople. Non-medalers at the Olympics are not default notable, and other than that we do not have any sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:56, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Neutral I found two book sources verifying that Kallberg competed but did not finish. It's a pity the Wikipedia article on Athletics at the 1912 Summer Olympics – Men's marathon is so poorly sourced. Deb (talk) 09:55, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Looking at the Finnish National Library's newspaper archive, there's a not-insignificant amount of hits, but they all seem to be relatively passing coverage, mentioning him as a participant in one competition or another. As an aside, there seems to be a surprisingly large amount of advertisements for sports events, where the event organizers have considered him sufficiently notable to use the name as a marketing tool ("Come view our event, participants include X, Y and Aarne Kallberg!"). I don't think that affects Wikipedia notability, but I found it interesting none-the-less. -Ljleppan (talk) 10:07, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Athletics at the 1912 Summer Olympics – Men's marathon per WP:ATD.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 18:10, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Lugnuts. Seems to be a reasonable solution to preserve what information is here without a separate article. Smartyllama (talk) 18:53, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per Lugnuts. Important we don't haemorrhage information, but I agree this subject doesn't merit a stand alone article. --Jkaharper (talk) 15:04, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
