Declined prod with reason he meets WP:NATH by medalling in the Central African Championships which are a low tier championship. No in-depth coverage to meet WP:SPORTSCRIT. LibStar (talk) 15:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Olympics, Sport of athletics, and Africa. LibStar (talk) 15:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Nothing found in my WP:BEFORE, no reason to think a bronze at the sporadically-held Central African Athletics Championships would have attracted significant coverage. FOARP (talk) 19:03, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Chad at the 1992 Summer Olympics – As WP:ATD used in similar AfDs. Svartner (talk) 20:48, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: WP:SPORTSCRIT requires at least one piece of significant coverage to be present in the article, and currently there aren't any here. The corresponding wikis don't give us much to work with here and I couldn't find any WP:SIGCOV elsewhere. Let'srun (talk) 23:04, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect, subject lacks the requisite IRS SIGCOV for SPORTCRIT. Oppose merge; nothing worth merging, and anyway nontrivial biographical info unrelated to the target page is undue. @Let'srun @FOARP is there any reason to avoid a redirect here? Delete. Target indeed not clear. JoelleJay (talk) 17:16, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Primarily the redirect being unclear. Why redirect to the 1992 Olympics and not the CAC page?
    Agree that no merge is needed. Undue to mention the low-prominence medal on the Olympics page. FOARP (talk) 17:35, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It is not undue to give a very brief mention of the athlete's other important accomplishments on the page dedicated exactly to discussing him and about four other athletes. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:43, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The page is about Chad's performance at the 1992 Olympics, coverage should be about those competitions, not the competitors' results in other tournaments that editors scraped from databases and baselessly decided would have been covered in contemporary media. JoelleJay (talk) 23:24, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The page is about the Chadian athletes at the 1992 Olympics, and there is nothing wrong with providing a brief background to those athletes. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:32, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    We have zero indication that his performance at any other event would have been mentioned anywhere, let alone discussed in the context of that Olympics. You can't just assume a medal at one non-notable event an editor found in a database provides anything relevant whatsoever to his competing at the Olympics. JoelleJay (talk) 23:46, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    When editors take short "country at the Olympics" articles to GA, they provide some background details for the athletes in the articles. Providing brief background details here, such as medals at regionally important competitions, is relevant, and something that would be added if someone were trying to get the article to GA. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:53, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't see a clear redirect target here as FOARP has already articulated. Let'srun (talk) 19:43, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the CAAC event is much more trivial, but if it's better to delete then we can do that. EDIT: Actually he is not mentioned in any other page AFAICT. The CAAC competitions do not have their own pages and his bronze finish is not mentioned on the main CAAC page. Never mind, now I see him at the 1996 Olympics, which confusingly comes after the 1995 CAAC but before the 1995 CAC... JoelleJay (talk) 23:18, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the 1992 article, his best result, although I have zero doubt that he is notable and was covered in-depth in Chad. Noting that he was a medalist at important competitions such as the Central African Championships (arguably an NATH pass) is IMO warranted in a brief note at the 1992 Chad article. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:25, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Disagree with any merging of unrelated content. Let'srun (talk) 19:42, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You said at Asilvering's talk that something like [the note at Congo at the 1988 Olympics] could also note the other major events where the subject competed in that (or another) discipline, and the verifiability/UNDUE issues should, for the most part, be solved – how is that different? BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:55, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    A note at one Olympics page that a competitor also competed at another Olympics is much more relevant than a note that they competed in a non-notable, much much less prestigious event. It would be fine to add a footnote that he was also at the 1996 Olympics, but that would be a trivial addition, not a merge. JoelleJay (talk) 23:30, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
