Lindberg did not medal at the Olympics, that is the cut off for Olympic notability. Otherwise we need good sourcing to show notability, which the two inter-related sports data pages we have, neither of which even has 2 lines of prose on Lindberg, are not enough. The last deletion discussion was done before our decision last fall that only medalists are default notable. It shows why the old system did not work. No one argues that they were able to find any sources. I went looking and could find no other sources that spoke of Lindberg really at all. The previous deletion discussion was done before we limited default notability to Olympic medalists. No one there presented any place they could find any coverage in the type of sources we require to cover people to justify biographical articles. This is not a good redirect target either. I was able to find a book on the history of one of the Dakotas that devoted 2-3 paragraphs to the biography of someone with this name who was treasurer of a country in that state, and I was able to find an IMDb listing for a person who seemed much too recent to possibly be this person who I believe was a filmmaker of some sort. So there are at least 2 other people who have this same name who are just as not notable but poissible search terms as this person, so there is no reason to make this name the redirect target.

 * Redirect to Boxing at the 1924 Summer Olympics – Light heavyweight per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R and WP:CHEAP.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 14:06, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Why exactly should this name redirect to this non-notable athlete, as opposed to the county treaurer who I can find several times as much text on, or the filmmaker?John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:20, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Because none of those people have an article on WP, Lambert.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 15:21, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You have been asked over and over again to stop referring to me by the unaccompanied last name. Your rudeness and disrespect is increasing. As shown below one does have a current link to him.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:46, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That is quite rude and aggressively uncivil. If you're going to insist that you get to dictate which form of your name people use, you don't deserve respect, Miss Lambert. 68.15.62.184 (talk) 21:28, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG, and a different Carl Lindberg is mentioned at ManOpen - although I am not convinced that it is notable, and if Rixstep isn't a reliable source then it should be brought to AFD and this article turned into a redirect. BilledMammal (talk) 09:38, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That is now at least the 3rd other person with this name who is at least as close to being notable as this person who we have identified. Even less reason to even consider making this name a redirect to this non-notable person.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:16, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect I found no indication of notability besides his Olympic appearance and redirects are cheap. Papaursa (talk) 22:34, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * What of the multiple other possible people who have the same name, including one mentioned in an article?John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:45, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The article we're discussing is about the boxer. If you feel there are other notable people named Carl Lindberg, feel free to write an article about them.  There's a reason disambiguation pages exist. Papaursa (talk) 02:20, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I feel none of these people are notable period. However the other non-notable people with this name are as likely to be search terms, and so there is no reason to force searches to go here when we have no reason to actually think this is the most likely target. I think all of these are non-notable, and none have a strong suggestion as being the redirect. However another person with this name is mentioned in the text of Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:29, 10 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. No evidence of notability. This is the kind of article that should be here. Jacona (talk) 00:46, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
