A biographical article without serious info about the person behind the sporter. The Banner talk 15:41, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep Are you serious; with your experience? That has never been a guideline. Notable, see WP:NOLYMPICS. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 15:45, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note nominater has already been told many times to read WP:before. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 15:56, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In the past you have used a sockpuppet to restore your articles. And now you are restoring your own articles with the same trouble as before. Is that serious behaviour, with your experience? The Banner talk 16:10, 13 February 2018 (UTC) See here for the Dutch sockpuppet investigation[reply]
I don't see any reason for your AfD you are restoring your own articles with the same trouble as before. You don't give a single problem of this article. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 16:13, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is your memory that bad that you already forgot User:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up? The Banner talk 16:27, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I remember. But still it's not a reason why this articles has been listed for Afd. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 16:32, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Handball players become notable by their accomplishments in playing handball , not by any notability derived from "info about the person behind the sporter". We don't need general biographic information, though we normally do like to have at least a date of birth. We need verifiable information about what makes for notability . That seems to be present. (I don;t usually work on sports AfDs, but I came here because of noticing the deletion reason--it's been used also in bringing AfDs of academics--and always unsuccessfully. DGG ( talk ) 08:53, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • So you think that you can make the Olympics without any further sports career? What about WP:ONEEVENT?The Banner talk 10:05, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
rather,I think that the fact that someone has made the Olympics shows they have had a prior and usually a subsequent sports career, for which there would undoubtedly be sources even if we are at the moment unable to find them. (fwiw, while prior is certain, subsequent is not, for someone might have retired immediately afterwards.) DGG ( talk ) 06:04, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Notability guideliness are notability guidelinss and so meeting notability. If you disagree with WP:NOLYMPICS, don't nominate athletes for AfD, but start a discussion at WP:NSPORT. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 10:24, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, articles can be restored if new notability is established, and as DGG said notability has been established. --Donald Trung (Talk) (Articles) Respect mobile users. 10:05, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:NOLY. There's also coverage here about her being part of the first-ever women's handball team for Australia at the Olympics, and other press coverage too. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:20, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Appears to meet the WP:NOLYMPICS requirements. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:27, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (any admin out there that can speedy this?:), meets WP:NOLYMPICS ie. "Athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the modern Olympic Games", why are editors' time being wasted by nominations like this? Coolabahapple (talk) 11:28, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • The creator is now blocked for prolonged sockpuppetry... The Banner talk 12:34, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
thanks The Banner, yes and the creator made 1000s of inaccurate possibly/mostly(?) non-notable subject articles but with these ones the sng is straightforward ie. "did the person compete in the olympics? yes or no." i don't see why they have to come here. Coolabahapple (talk) 17:51, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So you approve of BLP-articles without BLP-content, just because they took part in Olympics once? What about WP:ONEEVENT? The Banner talk 20:13, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
