Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT #5, and suitable coverage is unlikely to be available as we don't know basic biographical details about him, such as his first name or date of birth, that would allow us to find such coverage.

Renominating after a procedural keep. Redirect is not suitable per WP:R#DELETE #1; it would make it unreasonably difficult for readers to find other people who are mentioned or are notable with the same initials. BilledMammal (talk) 04:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Gymnastics at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Men's artistic individual all-around. A redirect is suitable per WP:R#KEEP #1, WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE and WP:CHEAP. Note that a previous attempt to redirect the article was undone by the nom. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:40, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Because that previous blank-and-redirect was done during an AfD, and because a redirect is not suitable here as readers looking for E. Gauthier can reasonably be searching for dozens of other unrelated articles. BilledMammal (talk) 08:54, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is nothing notable about this person. There is no reason to assume someone searching for this letter plus last name combination would want to find this individual.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:44, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak Delete The first ref might be reliable but is definitely not significant coverage, the second is both unreliable and insignificant. I could see another profile in the Olympics website about him, but this is not notable nor is it sufficient coverage, and I could not find any evidence of him winning any significant medals to justify the Sports criteria. Many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 06:41, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; oppose redirect. Fails GNG, and the 3 people listed at Gauthier#People with the surname (and others, e.g. we have articles for an E. Gaultier, 2 people named Gautier, etc.) are more likely search targets; redirecting to a sports event would most likely cause readers great surprise. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 09:04, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG, also concerns above about how many E. Gauthiers there are in the world. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:40, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There's no coverage outside sports databases, and without even a first name, it's useless to continue, useless for redirect. Jacona (talk) 16:15, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
