Keep - Hall of Fame inductees strike me as particularly notable and I have added it to the article accordingly. Nice find @BeanieFan11!

You probs have some sort of rebuttal in the chamber ready to go for this but KEEP, all olympians are notable. Americanfreedom (talk) 21:25, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A bit of a weaker case than Brian Welch, but IMO there is still enough to get Stein over the notability bar: Stein got jump on competition from the Wisconsin State Journal; Olympics are only a few jumps away from The Capital Times; and Middletown jumper on the rise from The La Crosse Tribune; plus lesser coverage here, here and here; and this mentions he was inducted into the American Ski Jumping Hall of Fame.

Keep for obvious reasons. Hall of fame induction is enough to satisfy WP:ANYBIO Bruxton (talk) 17:14, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment What I find of issue here is that no significant coverage is presented on the "Hall of Fame" for Kurt Stein, so it does not appear to be an automatic acceptance due to inclusion. It does not appear to list why Kurt was inducted? Looking at the nomination criteria it is: • Athletes who have achieved outstanding ski jumping careers. • Athletes who have represented the United States in international competitions. • Contributions to the sport of ski jumping that have been significant and enduring. • Contributions that have resulted in significant influence on the perpetuation and preservation of the sport of ski jumping on a regional, national and/or international level. • Contributions to the sport of ski jumping that are historically important and have had a significant impact nationally. • Judgement of the Selection Committee It appears if any of the criteria are met they can meet this hall of fame standard which would not always meet the criteria for notability on wiki.

- Are you saying that he should not be considered notable – even though he has multiple pieces of SIGCOV – because those sources do not discuss his hall of fame induction? That doesn't make any sense. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:07, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
