We recently went away with WP:NOLY. Olympic athletes must now meet WP:GNG. I did a check, and I could not find any references that count toward notability. I would normally propose redirecting, but I am not sure which page we should redirect to. Scorpions13256 (talk) 01:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

'Comment note he was also the flag bearer at the 1920 games for Portugal. I'll have a look later for more on this guy. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:59, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are no sources that come even close to passing GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:23, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Searching for his name plus "esgrima" (Portugese for fencing) brings back some hits, such as this, and coupled with the fact he was a three-time Olympian, referee director at the Olympics AND the Portuguese flag-bearer too, that should equate to some presumption of notability. Worst case, redirect to the List of flag bearers for Portugal at the Olympics to WP:PRESERVE the info as an alt. to deletion. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:29, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As he competed at five events across three Olympics there is no clear target for redirect, and he fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT #5 due to lack of significant coverage. BilledMammal (talk) 18:36, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of flag bearers for Portugal at the Olympics per Lugnuts. Alvaldi (talk) 20:18, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of flag bearers for Portugal at the Olympics per Lugnuts and Alvaldi. That is an absolutely "clear target for redirect" and, even if NOLY has gone, we still have WP:PRESERVE as a key component of editing policy. Indiscriminate use of the delete option is inexcusable.
