Sportsman who does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NOLY, as he did not win any olympic medals. I could find no significant coverage of him, indeed the only info I could find at all was that he finished dead last in the heat. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:01, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete we have no significant sources that provide coverage. He did nothing that would meet notability guidelines. There is no good reason to redirect the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:03, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Athletics at the 1976 Summer Olympics – Men's 800 metres is better than deletion, as it will point anyone looking for this person to all that is really known. Redirects are cheap. I'm not sure how User:Johnpacklambert managed to search for sources at 17:03 after making 2 other unrelated edits at 17:02 - I have repeated concerns about his competency in the AFD arena. Bearcat is correct though - the only coverage I could find of him was the same New York Times article - for those without a NY Times subscription it's also available at Nfitz (talk) 19:24, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That wasn't me, just for the record, it was Devonian Wombat. Which is not to say I disagree with it at all, but it wasn't my statement originally. Bearcat (talk) 16:18, 25 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect per above. We don't have enough sourcing here to support a standalone article — the old consensus that non-medalling Olympic athletes are automatically notable regardless of sourceability problems has been deprecated, and their notability now depends more strongly on actually getting them over WP:GNG on the sourcing than it used to — but since he is named in the target article, there's value in retaining the redirect so that somebody who does look for information about him will land somewhere relevant.

 * Redirect to Athletics at the 1976 Summer Olympics – Men's 800 metres. Sensible redirect, article itself doesn't meet WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:23, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
