This person is not necessarily notable, because it was just him but his team who won the bronze medal, which would warrant an article about them or a move of this page to theirs. And even if he were notable, he only participated in one significant event (albeit an Olympic event) so this article would fail our biographies criteria. :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  01:25, 25 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep Per WP:NSPORTS, a subject is deemed notable if they have "competed in the Olympics or senior World Gymnastics Championships". This person competed in the Olympics. End of story. We're done here. Silver  seren C 01:56, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree 100% with Silver seren and explained my thinking in greater detail in regards to a long list of Olympic athlete deletion nominations by this same nominator.Cullen328 (talk) 15:46, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Olympian. Competing in the 1912 Olympics is more notable than doing so in recent times given the substantially larger numbers that are involved these days. MLA (talk) 21:35, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Olympians pass WP:ATHLETE even if they come in last - and even if they competed as a member of a team. We need more and better articles on historic Olympians, not fewer. --NellieBlyMobile (talk) 00:56, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
