Fails NOLYMPICS and GNG. Swedish wikipedia does not have any indications of WP:SIGCOV sources to use here. A. C. Santacruz &#8258; Please ping me! 17:03, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

 * If nothing can be found on this guy, then redirect to Volleyball at the 1988 Summer Olympics – Men's team rosters per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE and WP:R.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:20, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Got silver in 1989 Men's European Volleyball Championship and I got over 500 hits in the Swedish news archive. --- Løken (talk) 17:26, 7 March 2022 (UTC) — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Løken (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. (diff)
 * It is common, or at least understandable, practice to notify editors experienced in a topic area of ongoing deletion discussions. Thus I fail to see how this could be canvassing (especially noting the neutral tone of the notification by . Nonetheless, I'd appreciate a link to the news archives, . The silver in the men's tournament is barely notable (as one of 12+ members in a team that got second), and it is highly likely that an overwhelming majority of the hits are not SIGCOV (e.g. sports results tables, accounts of the teams winning rather than on him, etc.).

 * I disagree; the editor is partisan, having voted "keep" in every AFD they have participated in, and to notify them violates WP:INAPPNOTE. ANI may disagree with this, but if the editor intends to continue with these notifications then I believe someone will need to take it there for clarification - I note dlthewave has already warned the editor in question about these notifications.

 * I disagree with your disagreement. I am not partisian, or have "a predetermined point of view or opinion". I simply have access to the "official" Norwegian and Swedish news records, and contributing with my findings. As you can see at my talk page, I don't always find anything. But in this and some others, I do. I think the discussion of me being canvassed is off-topic. --- Løken (talk) 13:16, 9 March 2022 (UTC)


 * "Thus I fail to see how this could be canvassing (especially noting the neutral tone of the notification" - exactly. WP:APPNOTE encourages this type of notification.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 08:52, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * A. C. Santacruz: Since it was over 500 hits in the records, I need to know a bit more of what you want me looking for. There is some interviews with him about the 1989 Championship, since Sweden beat Soviet, which was a sensation at that time. --- Løken (talk) 12:57, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Three articles that meet the requirements of WP:GNG; given you mention interviews, whether the coverage is independent may become relevant. If they exist, I will flip my !vote. BilledMammal (talk) 13:06, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Just some examples of SIGCOV in non-local newspapers. A. C. Santacruz &#8258; Please ping me! 13:19, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I don't have time or more important, I don't have the interest to spend hours to read Swedish newspapers (not my spoken language). If the silver from 1989 isn't enough to keep the article, that fine by me. --- Løken (talk) 19:36, 10 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. No references demonstrating WP:SIGCOV have been provided. BilledMammal (talk) 01:54, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete non-medalists at the Olympics are not notable, and the depth of coverage here is not enough to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:52, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
