Article sourced only to databases; a WP:BEFORE search turns up no additional sources. Fails WP:GNG, WP:SPORTCRIT #5, and violates WP:NOTDATABASE. BilledMammal (talk) 18:28, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There were actually no bronze etc. medals given out at the Olympics until 1904. The 1896 and 1900 awards were not so designated, it is a later attempt to retcon the Olympics into their later form that causes such claims. However even if we ignore that problem, we need significant sourcing to justify any article, and that is lacking here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:20, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Searching in Netherlandish sources, I came up with his biography in the book Persoonlijkheden in het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in woord en beeld aswell as these two sources [1][2]. I'm gonna keep digging, seems to potentially be more there about him. Alvaldi (talk) 22:22, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I feel he passes GNG with these sources, I've added them to the article and expanded it a little bit. He seems to have been better known for his work in the medical field and with the Dutch Red Cross than for his Olympic appearance. Alvaldi (talk) 23:15, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets GNG per Alvaldi. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:23, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets notability as a doctor. Schwede 66 18:31, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Appears to be notable as a doctor, not an Olympian. @Johnpacklambert: If you can change or strike your !vote, I can withdraw this nomination. BilledMammal (talk) 21:38, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep His Olympic participation was not at all notable, but his medical one was. This shows exactly why people should not create articles without fully investigating a person.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
