Covered in Samoa at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, only known for that one event, unless he participates in another Paralympics is unlikely to generate additional news coverage. Kees08 (Talk) 00:01, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

• Keep, Participating at the Paralympics is an automatic keep. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:44, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
  • Surprisingly to me, not true. They have to win a medal, per WP:NSPORTS Kees08 (Talk) 03:31, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
• Keep, Notability is not temporary, if he was significant enough to have his own page. Then he still deserves it even if it does not generate future press. Twinky995 (talk) 02:38, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
  • The argument is that the subject was never notable enough for a standalone wiki article, and that unless something else was done to prove notability, the article could be removed. I should have phrased it differently, but here we are. Kees08 (Talk) 03:33, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
• Keep WP:NOTTEMPORARY. \\\Septrillion:- ~~‭~~10^Eleventeen 03:04, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
• Comment For reference, I was basing this nomination from the result of Houssein Omar Hassan. I wrote that up to GA class, but it was rejected and then AfD'ed, resulting in a merge. Identical situation to this one, so something else to look at for consideration. Kees08 (Talk) 03:25, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

• Redirect to Samoa at the 2016 Summer Paralympics Clearly does not meet WP:NSPORT and the coverage seems insufficient to meet WP:GNG as it is routine sports reporting. Doesn't meet any criteria for a standalone article and has no significant information not already present at the redirect target I gave. I believe the same can be said for the article on Maggie Aiono. A redirect seems like the best choice for both of these articles, especially when there have been no policy based reasons given for keeping the article under discussion.

• Keep as a qualifier for a global championship at the highest possible level in his category with numerous independent sources directly about the subject like [1]. Laki is only about 21 and his career is far from over. --Habst (talk) 19:50, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

I don't think some local coverage is sufficient for GNG and I don't see how you claim WP:NSPORTS is met when the guidelines for paralympians is quite clear. Projecting future success falls under WP:CRYSTALBALL. Papaursa (talk) 20:28, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
