Non-notable athlete, a before search didn't bring much either. No medal record, doesn't seem to meet GNG. SPF121188 ^{(talk this way)} ^(contribs) 12:51, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Military, and Finland. Shellwood (talk) 13:33, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Searching the National Archives of Finland's newspaper archive by name gives a few older newspaper clippings as hits, with this being the most extensive story I found from a quick search. Other hits include [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] etc. See here for full results (website can be changed to English from top-right corner). I'm rather ambivalent about this: there's probably an argument to be made that the sources scrape by to WP:GNG, but on the other hand the (tragically) short career probably means there's relatively little to write here. Even if kept, likely to remain a permastub. Ljleppan (talk) 16:31, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ljleppan, thanks for bringing these up! I looked at a few of them and see some passing mentions, but I couldn't get my computer to load the first one you tagged. I'm not 100% sure if these sources can bring this subject up to GNG standards, I'll let the discussion stay open and get some new opinions :) but, thank you again for searching!

Yeah, it seems borderline at best. I wonder if there's a case to be made that both this and Olli Huttunen (biathlete) (Ongoing AfD) would be merged to something like 1936 Finnish Olympic military patrol team, but I won't pretend like I had the requisite background to start that article. - Ljleppan (talk) 16:44, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Researching this further led me to Military patrol at the 1936 Winter Olympics, that could be a potential redirect target as well. Ljleppan (talk) 16:47, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ljleppan, I would support these subjects being redirected to that page as an alternative to deletion! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way)} ^(contribs) 16:49, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make the closer's life that bit easier, I'll clearly note my support for redirect to Military patrol at the 1936 Winter Olympics as an AtD. Ljleppan (talk) 16:55, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just highlighting for potential closers that there's a redirect !vote in the discussion above from me, and Spf121188 has indicated their support for that result. -Ljleppan (talk) 08:33, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
