Clearly,  was never intended to apply to ancient Olympic Games athletes.  It is impossible for the overwhelming majority of ancient Olympic athletes to satisfy the general notability guidelines per , because there is not now, and never will be, ''significant'' coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.  In fact, we don't even know the names of most of the ancient Olympic athletes, and for those whose names do know, that's all we know.  No basic biographical data -- no birth date, no birth place, no parents, no non-sports career, no date of death.  All notability guidelines, including specific notability guidelines like NSPORTS and NOLYMPICS only impart a ''presumption'' of notability, not a guarantee of inclusion as a stand-alone Wikipedia article.  As GNG specifically states
— NONE, NONE
