Declined prod. The one source added, although looks impressive is just a very small 1 line mention in a long list of فيصل مرزوق and definitely not SIGCOV to meet WP:SPORTSCRIT and WP:NOLY. LibStar (talk) 01:52, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Swimming at the 1984 Summer Olympics – Men's 100 metre butterfly where his 44th place finish in the preliminary heats (nine seconds behind the fastest time in the event) is recorded. A stand-alone article can't be supported, because there is a complete failure to satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC, prong 5, which mandates: "All sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources."

Comment: When his name is searched in Arabic it appears to have a lot more hits, also hits in Newspapers.com. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 03:08, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
“سباح كويتي”, the name you put in the article, is transliterated as Sabah Kuwaiti and it means Kuwaiti swimmer. His real Arabic name is فيصل مرزوق, ~~which also does come up with some results on Google.~~ Jordano^5³ 05:51, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above. Upon a more thorough search, those are not the same Marzouks, and indeed there really isn't coverage of him. Jordano^5³ 17:01, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
