 * Redirect to Canoeing at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's C-1 500 metres (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Deletion policy. Preserving the history will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future. It will also allow some of the content to be used in other Wikipedia articles if the content can be corroborated by reliable sources. Here are some sources I found that mention the subject but may not be enough to pass Notability: http://sports.sina.com.cn/s/2005-10-23/1107689858s.shtmlInternet Archive, https://english.eastday.com/eastday/englishedition/node20665/node20668/node22810/node92589/node92590/userobject1ai1564967.htmlInternet Archive, and http://2004.sina.com.cn/star/wang_bing/Internet Archive.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Support above redirect/undecided. The subject certainly doesn't meet WP:NOLY, but with the sources provided above and these three   supporting the fact that he won a gold medal at an Asian Games. For some NSPORTS guidelines this medal would automatically confer notability, but there is no subject notability guideline for canoeing. Newspapers.com didn't show anything beyond lists of the Olympic performances, which is not promising. I'm inclined to support the redirect proposed above, but would appreciate if a closing admin would take a good look at the links provided here and decide if keeping this article might be a reasonable extrapolation of NSPORTS.
