Fails WP:GNG, WP:SPORTCRIT #5, and WP:NOLYMPICS.

The French Wikipedia includes an additional reference, km17, but the link is dead and it is not archived, so it is unknown whether it is independent, reliable, or significant. Other sources could not be found.

Redirect may not be suitable, as there is no clear target; Racing 92, Tug of war at the 1900 Summer Olympics, and Rugby union at the 1900 Summer Olympics are all options. BilledMammal (talk) 00:59, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as a multiple medalist. Worst case, Redirect to France at the 1900 Summer Olympics#Medalists per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R#KEEP and WP:CHEAP. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:31, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Medalling is no longer sufficient to pass WP:NOLYMPICS, if the medals were in events where all participants won a medal, which includes both Rugby and Tug of War at the 1900 Olympics. BilledMammal (talk) 09:36, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete technically no medals were given out at the Olympics until 1904, any medals before that are retconned. We should not participate in such retconning. One reason medals were not given before 1904 is because multiple competitions before 1904 did not have enough competitors to make giving medals at all more than giving participation trophies. We lack significant sources to create an article, so we should delete.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:18, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Multiple medalists at AFD? These deletion discussions for sportspeople are getting ridiculous! BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:04, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to France at the 1900 Summer Olympics#Medalists unless significant coverage can be found. Alvaldi (talk) 19:01, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to France at the 1900 Summer Olympics#Medalists Not really seeing enough for a GNG pass, there may well be coverage offline given his successes, although the 1900 Olympics were less well covered as others will mention, redirect should be a suitable WP:ATD.
