WP:NOLY has changed since last AfD, inherent notability is only granted to medal winners. This article fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. Australia only played in the Olympics as a host nation and lost every game. Only primary sources provided. LibStar (talk) 18:27, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sports biographies are subject to a heightened sourcing standard. See WP:SPORTBASIC prong 5: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." This one-sentence stub does not meet the standard. Cbl62 (talk) 16:08, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even gold medalists are not afforded inherent notability; as Cbl62 says, all sportsperson biographies must cite a source of SIGCOV in addition to the subject meeting GNG. A search through newspaper archives and ProQuest only turned up brief mentions in the context of the 2000 Games, a short local interview with her son some years later about his cancer, and an article that at first seemed promising but ended up only having a few of sentences actually on Bjarnason and included a high percentage of unencyclopedic details (like her husband and son being in the stands).

Delete: Unable to find any WP:SIGCOV for this subject to meet the WP:GNG. The only sources are primary, and multiple searches didn't come up with much better. Let'srun (talk) 22:04, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
