Cannot confirm notability. Ghits don't point to anything specific. No reference via ghits for Olympic participation. Doesn't meet WP:BIO. -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 16:29, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as non notable unless references are provided backing up the claims. A number of potential sources make no link between the subject and the Helsinki games. Nuttah68 16:42, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Reference now found confirming appearance but disproving claims to finishing position. Are there any guidelines on Olympic competitors? Nuttah68 16:55, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes... WP:BIO defines athletes as notable if they played professionally or at the highest amateur level. THe olympics are recognized as the highest amateur level. Thus, if they competed they are notable. KeepBalloonman 18:42, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Seems to just pass notability by being an Olympian. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:32, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Confirmed Olympic athelete, therefore notable. Article needs work though. Elmo 23:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
