PROD was rejected, so here we are at AfD. The article is poorly written because it lacks sufficient reliable sources independent of the subject. As a result it reads like a CV/resumé combined with a poor high school essay. It's painful to read and should be put out of its misery unless it can be re-written using sufficient RS.

 * seems a fairly clear Keep to me. AfD can delete either if the topic is not notable, or if the article is so badly written it would be better to start back from nothing. In this case the subject is probably notable as an academic, possibly as an ancient athlete, certainly as a combination of both. The article is dreadfully formatted, but the solution to that is not TNT, or AfD: it's to get typing and reformat it. Elemimele (talk) 13:32, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
