Notability problems according to WP: Notability (sports)

"Trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may be used to support content in an article, but it is not sufficient to establish notability. This includes listings in database sources with low, wide-sweeping generic standards of inclusion, such as the College Football Data Warehouse." ReformedArsenal (talk) 18:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Wow, seven content flags. WTF. Ridiculous. I'll spend some time digging on this one... Carrite (talk) 18:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I've added inline footnotes to provided verifiability and removed the mass of now inapplicable flags. Carrite (talk) 18:35, 17 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Member of a national Olympic team, 1936 Summer Games. Carrite (talk) 18:35, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Simply being part of a national Olympic team is not enough for the notability guidelines. Unless you can provide some substantial published articles beyond database entries... they don't cut it.ReformedArsenal (talk) 19:08, 17 October 2012 (UTC)


 * clear Keep. Competed at the highest level in a professional or amateur sports competition (1936 Olympics), easily passes WP:NSPORTS "have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics," and WP:NOLYMPICS "Athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the Summer or Winter Olympic games or have won a medal at the Paralympic Games."

 * Keep Plainly passes WP:NSPORTS given his participation in an Olympic Games, as has been indicated by Ravendrop and Carrite above. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  21:04, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per WP:NSPORTS, which the Olympics seems to satisfy. - SudoGhost 23:05, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I withdraw, I misread the sports notabilityReformedArsenal (talk) 23:29, 17 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. WP:NOLYMPICS explicitly says: "Athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the Summer or Winter Olympic games . . ." That is as clear as it gets. Churn and change (talk) 05:27, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
