No sources, no indication of notability, minor athlete who was barely a footnote to an Olympic event that happened a hundred years ago. --Ashershow1talk • contribs 00:26, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep as this is an article about an Olympic athlete, and meets our notability guideline. It makes no difference whatsoever that this athlete competed over 100 years ago.  This is not the encyclopedia of the new and trendy.  It is the encyclopedia so comprehensive that it strives to cover every notable topic, even 1908 Olympic athletes.
