Only one source, which is a primary source. Can't find anything else. Went to the olympics but didn't win any medals. fails WP:GNG. &Alpha; Guy into Books &trade; &sect; ( Message ) -  20:22, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Keep For the record, I disagreed with on a recent AfD, and now he is going through my creations, and has quickly nominated three for deletion. It's Harassment and needs to stop. As for the notability here, he is an Olympian, so meets WP:SPORTSBASIC. It needs more work and sources for sure, but WP:NEGLECT is not an argument for deletion.

 * WP:HA (I have apologised). Olympians are only inherently notable if they win a medal. Generally winning a major award or being awarded a significant distinction gives assumed notability, but it is not infact the being a olympian which gives notability, it is the award of a medal. As this person does not seem to have won, I say not notable. (edit conflict) SPORTSBASIC only says subject 'is likely' to be notable, you would need to show WP:GNG first. &Alpha; Guy into Books &trade;  &sect; ( Message ) -  20:35, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It was repeated messages decided to annoy because I disagreed with you. I'm glad you have agreed to stop the harassment. Where is your evidence that Olympians are only inherently notable if they've won a medal? Boleyn (talk) 20:43, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * As well as WP:SPORTSBASIC, I would draw your attention to WP:NOLYMPICS: Athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the modern Olympic Games, including the Summer Olympics (since 1896) or the Winter Olympics (since 1924). Boleyn (talk) 20:45, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm also surprised you only found one source - a quick Google shows several, even though he competed in pre-Internet times and most sources would be offline. Boleyn (talk) 20:47, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
