Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT #5, and suitable coverage is unlikely to be available as we don't know basic biographical details about him, such as his first name or date of birth, that would allow us to find such coverage.

Renominating after a procedural keep. Redirect is not suitable per WP:R#DELETE #1; it would make it unreasonably difficult for readers to find other people who are mentioned or are notable with the same initials. BilledMammal (talk) 04:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Tennis at the 1896 Summer Olympics – Men's singles. A redirect is suitable per WP:R#KEEP #1, WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE and WP:CHEAP. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:35, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the ITF has a profile page for him here, which interestingly notes his nationality as Belgian. I have no Dutch or German knowledge so maybe there are sources there and not just in French, or if anybody can access Belgian newspapers, maybe something can be found there.

Delete does not meet inclusion criteria. No reason to supposed someone looking for this initial plus last name combination would even be looking for information on this person.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:49, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, leaning D There are maybe 800 people with this surname worldwide, making it far more useful than many of the other "initialed" athletes currently being nominated. Still, identifying who J. Defert is problematic. Interested in followup mentioned by Adamtt9. Jacona (talk) 11:26, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Fails WP:GNG, even if he did look Defert in the eye. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:41, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I thought I had already voted delete, but realized I had not. We really don't have enough to go on without a first name. Jacona (talk) 16:08, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
