Even though the Olympics events might be notable, these living people only made a single appearance each in said events covered in reliable sources, and our policy on such biographies do not permit articles that cover persons notable in only one significant event. :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  01:47, 25 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep all per WP:Notability (sports) point #1, in particular gold medalists Song Nina and Zhang Ping and a bunch of bronze medalists. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:20, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Clarityfiend. Studerby (talk) 03:16, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, these people are notable, we've covered that. But their notability only extends to one event in their career. :| TelCo  NaSp  Ve :|  03:52, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You misunderstand WP:BLP1E. It is intended to cover, as an example, someone who gets in the news for being in a car accident with someone famous - Lindsey Lohan, Berlusconi, the Pope, whoever. Even if there were suddenly detailed news articles giving biography about them, unless something else happens to reinforce notability (they get on a reality TV show, have car accidents with 3 other celebrities, something anything that raises them above the transitory news) it's a one-time incident, that's not even going to be a footnote to history. On the other hand, competing in the Olympics is forever. Studerby (talk) 06:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe that the nominator, TeleComNasSprVen, is misunderstanding our policies on biographies of people notable for only one event. Our notability guideline for athletes presumes notability for Olympic competitors at least partially because competing in the Olympics is not at all one event - it is a high point or the culmination of a long and successful athletic career.  The assumption is that these athletes have been covered in reliable sources many times as they advanced, competing in regional championships, national championships and in many cases world championships before reaching the Olympics.  Is the nominator claiming to have made an unsuccessful but serious and complete good faith search for reliable sources for each and every one of these athletes as described in WP:BEFORE?  I sincerely doubt it.  Keep these articles, and instead of nominating them for deletion, work on sourcing and expanding them.  Cullen328 (talk) 06:11, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It seems that all these athletes come from non-English speaking countries. Before deleting any such Olympic athlete, a search for reliable sources in the athlete's native language should be completed.  My guess is that Prensa Latina, Granma, or Juventud Rebelde may have something to say about the Cuban athletes.  This is the English language Wikipedia of the entire world, not the Wikipedia of the English language speaking world. Cullen328 (talk) 06:16, 25 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep all per reliable sources and notability. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 06:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep all as much as I don't agree with WP:ATHLETE one Olympic appearance satisfies the criterion. LibStar (talk) 11:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Olympians unless there's a reason not to. MLA (talk) 21:36, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Satisfies the applicable notability guideline WP:ATHLETE. Edison (talk) 21:42, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep all. Any athlete who competes in an Olympic Games, whether s/he wins a medal or comes in last, passes WP:ATHLETE. As mentioned, WP:BLP1E doesn't apply to Olympians as much as it does to one-shot media sensations. --NellieBlyMobile (talk) 00:51, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep All - I haven't gone through all of these, and am taking teh nomiantor at his word that all of these individuals have made appearances at the Olympics. Per our inclusion guidelines for athletes, this qualifies them as competing at the highest level of their sport. -- Whpq (talk) 17:06, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
