The result was keep. per WP:SNOW. The article does verify that he competed in the Melbourne Olympics, and so if nothing else, WP:NOLYMPICS would apply. (non-admin closure) Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:34, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Could not find reliable sources for establishing notability. This person thus fails WP:NBIO and WP:ATHLETE. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk,  contribs ) 01:49, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

 * keep. It fails NBIO and ATHLETE because you cannot find referenes???? WTF? What sort of solipsistic universe do you live in? He passes ATHLETE based on the claims made in the article. I agree we are short on references, but that is not a reason for deletion; I'm going to guess that the internet is not overendowed with sources for 1950s & 1960s athletics competitions. (Also, don't you have better things to do that wander around trying to get other people's work deleted?) --Tagishsimon (talk) 15:22, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:BEFORE would have shown the nominator this and this. Exemplo347 (talk) 16:46, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: participation in 1956 Olympics is a straight pass for WP:ATHLETE. This AfD seems a waste of everyone's time. Pam  D  18:29, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
