Hey @Sportsfan 1234, what do you think of a redirect to Athletics at the 1992 Summer Olympics – Women's 400 metres#Quarterfinals? More generally, I noticed a lot of these were getting soft deleted due to low participation anyway, so where appropriate (e.g. if a redirect destination exists) it might be easier going through a lighter process.

Probably a good idea. Perhaps we need a consensus on doing this so AFD can be avoided. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 20:26, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if it's a reliable source, but a quick google search turns up this as the third item in the search results. Cbl62 (talk) 21:31, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per the above - on a general basis, the majority of articles such as this can be redirected and we should be looking at establishing this as a standard outcome for those where there isn't much of a hint at wider notability. In this case, neither source cited in the article gives me that hint and the one found by Cbl62 seems to simply be a run through of her results which looks like it was taken from a set of databases - it would make a poor wikipedia article perhaps. If there was anything else very much in that source - a bit of an interview, what she's doing now, the business she's running etc... - I might consider it helpful, but beyond a fragment on her school and early coaching there's not really anything there. I suppose it might indicate that there's something in older Sri Lankan media sources on here - I presume the writer trawled through newspaper archives to create it - but it's marginal at best. I'll add it to the article so that we have it as a seed if it's required. Blue Square Thing (talk) 07:44, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
