The result was keep. A very clear consensus that competing in the Olympics meets notability standards. (Non-admin closure.) BlueValour (talk) 00:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Louis Bozon

Really nominating as a test case. I don't believe that someone who's sole accomplishment is to have finished 21st in the bobsled at the 1936 Winter Olympics is notable. Julesn84 (talk) 15:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - WP:BIO on athletes on "competitors and coaches who have competed at the highest level of amatuer sports with secondary sources published about them." The Winter Olympics in bobsleigh are the highest level of competition outside of the FIBT World Championships and should be kept.

  • Keep. Cheers Chris. Should have checked that myself. Query: How does one withdraw a nomination for AfD? Julesn84 (talk)
Keep/Weak Redirect per CP.Julesn84 (talk) 15:41, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect Per my argument in this AfD. Cheers, CP 15:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect per CP Chris (talk) 15:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Redirect where? I'm assuming there's a list of bobsled competitors or 1932 Olympic competitors, where the exciting story of Mr. Bozon's 21st place finish can be recounted ("Sacre bleu, zere were twenty people who finished ahead of me!" he said).

  • Keep. Olympic athlete is notable. Redirect poses problems, as if more information becomes available (birth and death dates and places, etc.) there isn't a natural place to merge it in any likely target. Redirect also defeats categorization, and is problematic in lists that then may link to a redirect to themselves. It's best the way it is. Quale (talk) 17:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. If I may make an analogy here; even if you make it to the Superbowl and lose, you're still a notable football player. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 18:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Meets standards for notability. Edward321 (talk) 23:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
