This character is admittedly notable because he meets the ATHLETE, but since he lost in the second round and only made his appearance in the Olympics, from what I can discern from sources via Google etc. then he fails the policy on biographical articles about persons notable in only one event. :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  01:18, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Olympic athletes are presumed to be notable per our guidelines, and competing in the Olympics is not "one event" - it is a high point in a long athletic career. Cullen328 (talk) 16:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The apparent lack of sources is an example of WP:Recentism (in reverse). We should not consider Olympic boxers from 1924 less notable than Olympic boxers from 2008 because Google doesn't yield a lot of hits. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 17:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Olympian. A boxer from the 1924 Olympics is more notable than one from recent times when the numbers involved are substantially larger.  MLA (talk) 21:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Olympian passes WP:ATHLETE. --NellieBlyMobile (talk) 01:01, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
