 * Delete does not meet default inclusion criteria for Olympians. The one source has no prose on the subject, it is just a sports stat table. It is time for Wikipedia to stop having sports tables masquerading as articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:07, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep looking at his German article it states he was a three-time national champion (WP:V here) and that he was honoured as one of the best Uruguayan athletes in 2009/10, with sources here and here. He's also won medals (gold and bronze) at multi-national sporting competitions too.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:19, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The first source you have provided is in Spanish, not German. A listing of the subject name once is not sufficient for meeting WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. The second and third sources you have provided are of a Rowing athlete who competed at the 1960 Summer Olympics. This subject is a sport shooter who competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in shooting. Therefore, both articles do not discuss the subject and should not be counted towards any sort of notability this subject has. Tagging @Canadian Paul here because their vote is directly based of the sources you provided. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:31, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant German wiki article which has more info on this individual.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 09:24, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you have a link? What about the other two sources? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Redirect to an appropriate target, possibly Uruguay at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Per Lugnuts' comment above, as those sources indicate coverage that would satisfy WP:N. his accomplishments suggest that there would be sufficient coverage to meet WP:N if we had the correct resources to do so. Since those sources are not available, a redirect is appropriate for the time being. Canadian   Paul  01:48, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO as a winner of multiple medals at major international and national sporting events, including the South American Games and Pan American Games.4meter4 (talk) 21:34, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. No one has demonstrated GNG coverage. Redefining ANYBIO to include sporting achievements, despite those not even being awards or honors, is in direct conflict with the global consensus to require GNG be met for all athletes including international medalists.
