I have limited knowledge about the notability criteria for sportspersons. That being said, the subject does not appear notable to me. How is merely participating in an Olympic event sufficient for notability, especially when there are over 5,000 participants?–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 02:34, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - The nomination has it quite right: simply competing at the Olympics does not indicate novelty. No IRS SIGCOV found in my WP:BEFORE. FOARP (talk) 17:07, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Cycling at the 1964 Summer Olympics – Men's team pursuit as a valid ATD for individuals who have participated in the Olympics. --Enos733 (talk) 02:51, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Pakistan at the 1964 Summer Olympics#Cycling – Since in similar AfDs priority was given to redirecting to the country's campaign rather than the event. Svartner (talk) 04:19, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Pakistan at the 1964 Summer Olympics#Cycling: I couldn't find any WP:SIGCOV for the WP:GNG to be met here. Redirect as a WP:ATD. Let'srun (talk) 21:22, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
