Fails WP:GNG, WP:NOLYMPICS and lacks WP:SIGCOV. All sources currently on article are trivial. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 21:42, 16 July 2022 (UTC) Keep - won bronze at the Oceania Athletics Championships, and so clearly meets WP:NATH criteria 1 or 2, depending on where you think the OAC ranks. If you think it needs additional references, please tag it appropriately rather than jumping straight to AfD. --IdiotSavant (talk) 11:59, 17 July 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:44, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep He seems to have coverage in the Dutch media, e.g.,  and presumably .  He also meets criterion 2 of WP:NATH as the third place finisher in a championship of 11 countries and territories, so we should presume him notable unless there is clear evidence otherwise (and the evidence clearly suggests ample coverage).

 * Source one is decent, source two I can't see him mentioned, source 3 is a passing mention? GiantSnowman 17:37, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete all sports articles need to meet GNG period, and that means multiple good quality sources. We do not meet that standard here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:45, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Possible source - Olympic Islands, by David Riley. Is anyone able to check out a copy? --IdiotSavant (talk) 01:57, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, per IdiotSavant higher up. Even leaving aside the fact that his notability is obvious within Tuvalu: an Olympian, national sprint record holder, and member of the country's national football team. He's arguably the most notable sportsperson from Tuvalu, all sports taken together. Aridd (talk) 22:15, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * This is not a valid reason to keep an article. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:50, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Passes GNG. Simione001 (talk) 03:52, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per IdiotSavanr and Aridd. I look at the other sports WikiProjects and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 30. By the time I wrote this another 30 are probably deleted. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 02:01, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
