A WP:PROD was contested with the rationale, ""Olympians are automatically notable". While there can be a "presumption of notability" ("This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page") I think many policies and guidelines echo If no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. These include Verifiability: "All content must be verifiable" and "Attribute all quotations and any material whose verifiability is challenged or likely to be challenged to a reliable, published source using an inline citation" (article tagged since 2015). "The policy is strictly applied to all material in the mainspace—articles, lists, and sections of articles—without exception, and in particular to biographies of living persons". With the added WP:No original research, and Neutral point of view (also part of the "Five pillars"), as well as, Wikipedia is not just a stat book listing, I don't see any Wikipedia improvement to having a pseudo biography that is just the listing of a name and stats in the external link.

 * Keep. The article is a stub, but it can be expanded using the articles in the Slovenian, German, Swedish or German Wikipedias. There are lots of Google News hits at https://www.google.com/search?tbm=nws&q=%22Rajko+Lotri%C4%8D%22+-wikipedia that you should be able to read with Google Translate. Someone with the same name (perhaps the same person) is listed as a co-author of Aljaska : izkušnje v snegu in mrazu https://plus.cobiss.si/opac7/bib/237345024 ISBN 978-961-6177-19-1 Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:57, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Added a few sources into the the article. Subject was born pre internet era, there would more sources in print from Yugoslavia media. Pass WP:NSPORT and WP:ANYBIO. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:46, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I haven't checked the sources, nor has any aspect of being a pseudo biography been addressed, but I removed the 2015 unsourced and the "External links" tags.


 * Keep Plenty of sources available and passes WP:NOLY. Smartyllama (talk) 12:53, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
