Violates WP:NOTDATABASE, due to be sourced only to databases, and fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage - all we know about him is that he competed in the team gymnastics event of the 1908 Olympics, his name, and where and when he was born. BilledMammal (talk) 17:44, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Violates WP:NOTDATABASE" isn't true or relevant, as the article is not 1)Summary-only descriptions of works, 2)Lyrics databases, 3)Excessive listings of unexplained statistics or 4)Exhaustive logs of software updates. If nothing can be found for this guy, then redirect to Gymnastics at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Men's team per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R#KEEP and WP:CHEAP.

Delete the article lacks significant coverage. We should not preseve articles on non-notable subjects as redirects. This will clutter us with redirects about non-notable people, and will mislead some into thinking a subject is notable just because similar people all blue link.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:33, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or redirect to Gymnastics at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Men's team per WP:PRESERVE, etc. NOTDATABASE is irrelevant here because the article has not been presented as a database – the source is a matter for WP:V, WP:RS, etc. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:05, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Gymnastics at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Men's team. Does not appear to meet notability guidelines, but redirecting an individual to the article about a notable team that they were part of is a good ATD. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:57, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
