Withdrawn by nominator Didn't realize that WP:NOLYMPICS existed. I withdraw my nomination Bibliopole5795 (talk) 05:42, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG and the article doesn't contain any information apart from the fact that he competed at one Olympics. He doesn't seem to have won or anything, or have any mention before or after his participation.
 * I am also nominating the following related pages as they all seem to only mention their participation in one/two Olympics, with no notability outside it. There's a lot of these kinds of articles and I've included some of them below; I don't think it's necessary to link all of them as there are over 150 articles like these. All the articles I'm proposing for deletion are in Category:Wrestlers_at_the_1924_Summer_Olympics, as the vast majority of these articles only have the following sentence: "'Name' was an 'nationality' wrestler. He competed in the 'wrestling event name' at the 1924 Summer Olympics". All of these articles are also linked to just one source, and there doesn't appear to be any other reliable sources to verify notability. If this AFD is accepted, most of the articles in the category itself should also be deleted following this reasoning.:

 * Keep. Per WP:NOLYMPICS, "athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the modern Olympic Games." &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 05:24, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn I was looking at the general arguments for notability guidelines, but I guess I missed out the one relating specifically to sports. I withdraw my deletion nomination Bibliopole5795 (talk) 05:38, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
