Prodded with the justification Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT #5. Redirect is not suitable per WP:R #1, as there are multiple valid targets, and as we cannot assume which one the reader is looking for the search function is more effective.

Prod removed by Lugnuts with the edit summary possibly more about him via his army days BilledMammal (talk) 00:19, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. I wasn't able to find any significant coverage (just the usual passing mentions, database entries, etc.), and the community has decided that mere participation in an Olympic event isn't adequate to establish notability. I suppose it's possible that there are offline sources that aren't available to us, but I think I've done my due diligence (e.g. by searching this German newspaper archive), and WP:NEXIST is clear that "merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive". I don't feel strongly on the delete vs. redirect issue, but since there do appear to be other individuals by this name of roughly equal prominence deletion is probably the best option.
