• Keep as a medalist and fr.wiki indicates more sourcing. Worst case, Redirect to Football at the 1900 Summer Olympics#Medalists per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R#KEEP and WP:CHEAP. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:29, 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 football at the 1900 Olympics. BilledMammal (talk) 09:37, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete the article is false. There were no medals given at the Olympics before 1904, so the claim of a medal is false. He was on a team, which is not the same as an individual performance, and in this case his team came in 3rd of 3 treams, getting trounced is not a sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:21, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
