Comment. Just a note that there was a recent AfD for a rower that turned up SIGCOV in Spanish language, for a rower. Perhaps User:TheCatalyst31 can check. —siro χ o 01:08, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I don't have access to any older Spanish-language sources, and internet-based news sites aren't likely to have much on an athlete from the mid-twentieth century. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 01:59, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! Appreciate your work on the other AfD. —siro χ o 02:38, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, he medaled in two competitions at the 1959 Pan American Games (bronze in single-scull, silver in double). While NSPORTS has no rowing-specific criteria, several other sport criteria provide either specifically for Pan-American medalists or generally for medalists in "elite international" competitions. In view of that, it seems reasonable to grant a Pan-Am medalist in rowing a presumption of notability. The antiquity of these competitions is likely making it artificially difficult to find sources. But given that his name comes up quite a bit in US coverage of the games, I have a hard time imagining that SIGCOV doesn't exist in Uruguayan sources. -- Visviva (talk) 00:09, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Visviva made a compelling case for keep. It would be great if someone could add this information to the article. gidonb (talk) 00:15, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and possibly add Visviva's findings to the article. CycloneYoris ^talk! 01:37, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
