In the fall of last year it was decided after a long discussion that only olympic medal winners are default notable. Brearley as part of a 2 person team scored 11th in 1 event at 1 olympics, which is very far below winning a medal. I searched for information on his at google, google scholar, google news, google new archives and google books. I could not find any significant sources about this Alex Brearley. There is a more recent academic with this same name who may be notable, but this one is not by any stretch of the imagination. John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:30, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- I should have pointed out that the two sources present are the comprehensive database types that are held to not add towards showing notability in the guidelines on sportsperson notability, so we do not have any sources at present that would add towards showing notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:41, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
