Prod and notability tag removed without explanation or addition of sources. Prod justification was Fails WP:GNG, WP:SPORTCRIT #5, WP:NOLYMPICS, and violates the general criteria of WP:NOTDATABASE - all we know about him is his name, his nationality, and that he played for FC 1880 Frankfurt. No significant coverage in our article or the German article, and no coverage identifiable in a search. BilledMammal (talk) 11:56, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete We lack any substantial sources to say anything of substance about this individual. In many ways this article is coatracking about the German competition in the 1900 Olympics, but even there it is worse than nothing. There were no official national teams in the Olympics period until at least 1908. Having these sub-stub articles on competitors in the Olympics that tell us nothing about them is making too much to edit and leading us to have text that misleads readers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:12, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• If nothing can be found on this guy, then redirect to Rugby union at the 1900 Summer Olympics per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R#KEEP and WP:CHEAP. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 15:09, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Not notable. I agree with User talk:Lugnuts. Mommmyy (talk) 18:50, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Rugby union at the 1900 Summer Olympics#Rosters Doesn't appear to be enough for a GNG pass, although there might be some offline sourcing in books for example. Without this though, redirect is a suitable WP:ATD and there doesn't look to be any confusion with the name to stop a redirect here. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:48, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
