Fails GNG. I cannot find any references to this person aside from database references (which means it fails SPORTBASIC) though I was a bit hampered by the common name. ~ Matthewrb  Talk to me &middot;  Changes I've made 02:23, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 03:19, 1 August 2022 (UTC) Relisting comment: Some comments here but trying to read through the lines, I can't tell if you want the article Kept or Deleted, just what should be done IF the article is deleted.

 * Redirect IF nothing can be found on him, then redirect to Sailing at the 1996 Summer Olympics – Star per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R and WP:CHEAP. Note that the article was AfD'd at Miguel Costa (sailor) after another editor moved it from the base title of Miguel Costa and tried to blank/delete the latter. I've moved it back.

 * Comment. It's apparent that there are several "Miguel Costa"s who are probably more notable than this one, including the far more notable pt:Miguel Costa (Brazilian revolutionary). As such, unless this article is kept irrespective of the result of this discussion, Miguel Costa should be deleted in order to avoid surprising readers with an unlikely redirect target. If necessary, this article can be moved back to Miguel Costa (sailor) and then can be redirected. wjematherplease leave a message... 16:13, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Found virtually nothing with an online search, and the single source in the article contains zero prose. This fails WP:BASIC and WP:SPORTCRIT. Avilich (talk) 20:42, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable sportsperson. SWinxy (talk) 05:16, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete (note: my original comment did not address what to do with this article, so !voting here). Fails GNG/BASIC. A valid ATD would be something like List of Portuguese Olympic sailors (which would serve readers much better than these database entry stubs), but no such list exists. wjematherplease leave a message... 07:37, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
