Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT #5, and suitable coverage is unlikely to be available as we don't know basic biographical details about him, such as his first name or date of birth, that would allow us to find such coverage.

Renominating after a procedural keep. Redirect is not suitable per WP:R #1; it would make it unreasonably difficult for readers to find other people who are mentioned or are notable with the same initials. BilledMammal (talk) 04:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * This guy won TWO Olympic medals. Redirect to Sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics – 3 to 10 ton. A redirect is suitable per WP:R #1, WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE and WP:CHEAP.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 07:37, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete the above claim is false. Medals were not given out at the Olympics until 1904. Anyway, to treat any Olympics before 1908 as one where merely leading in a competition is a source of notability ignores the reality of what the Olympics really were before 1908. They were not the premier international competition they would later become. So we need good sources to justify articles in this period, which we do not have here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:50, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. If we had the full name, this might well be a keep as the one reference does say they received a bronze and a silver. But without the name, we don't really know who this is and there are so many people named Dubois, we can't redirect it or provide a useful search. We have nothing useful to give our reader here.
