Radoslav Holúbek: Sources I found are limited to passing mentions ( 1 and 2 ).  Google searches also come up with silly namesakes.

CuteDolphin712 ( talk ) 13:34, 5 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , thank you for nominating the article because it allows us to improve it.  The original article only mentioned the subject's participation in the Olympic relay.  But Holúbek actually does meet WP:NSPORT , specifically WP:NATH , because he is a four-time individual national champion per the sources I added in the article.  Furthermore, he is covered in this book providing SIGCOV for WP:GNG : Grexa, Ján (1996).  Olympijské hnutie na Slovensku: od Atén po Atlantu .  Q111.  ISBN 978-80-85401-56-1 .  Note that he is named in reverse order as "Holúbek Radoslav" in the book and in other sources I have found, I am not sure what Slovak naming conventions are or if a page move is appropriate.

CuteDolphin712 ( talk ) 19:24, 7 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment .  There are currently zero non-database sources in the article.  For that reason, the closing admin probably won't let it pass muster.  The article is also severely subpar (as can be expected from a Lugnuts creation) in that it doesn't mention his two most significant competitions as an individual hurdler, the 2000 Olympic Games and the 1998 European Championships.  Now, the book is interesting, but how is he covered there?  3 lines or several pages?  Geschichte ( talk ) 19:58, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Geschichte , thanks, I tried to update the article since its nomination to add some more of his achievements.  The book is 211 pages long, and there were only 71 Slovak athletes at the Olympics prior to and including 1996 when the book was published.  It's interesting that Holúbek is included because our records show he didn't compete at the Olympics until 4 years later, but he was certainly a top Slovak athlete and national champion before 1996, so he is probably discussed in that context.  Based on WP:NEXISTS , I think an administrator would most likely close this as keep if that was the consensus, even if we can't actually access the book as NEXISTS allows for.  -- Habst ( talk ) 14:12, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Then the so-called "discussion" might be a sentence that "athlete X beat Radoslav Holúbek at Y track meet" or "athlete X trains with Radoslav Holúbek".  Not exactly significant coverage.  We don't know, but can he be excpeted to have a full profile when the book is about Olympians and he was not an Olympian at the time?  Being a random national champion is not that special, there are 50 of them every year across all athletic events.  Geschichte ( talk ) 18:58, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Question: Was Holubek a non-starter at an Olympics or was his only selection after the book was written?  BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 19:00, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This is a good question, it's very possible.  I noticed that up until late last year, He Pan (runner) was listed as a member of the 2008 Chinese Olympic team on an archived website, known to people at the time, but she ended up not starting nor appearing on the Olympic start lists.  It's plausible that Holúbek was named to the team at the time of the book-writing, but may have withdrawn due to injury.  @ Geschichte isn't wrong that I am guessing – but to be fair, I think they would have to admit that they are guessing just as much as me about their speculated sentence of coverage.  The simple fact is that until someone checks the book out from a library, all we know is that the subject's name is definitely in Google's internal scanned copy.  -- Habst ( talk ) 00:37, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I've submitted a request for the source . BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 00:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Lean keep as Habst says he found SIGCOV in the book, which I am not able to access.

For now, the only sources are from databases or are very brief recaps. While the book source may have coverage, we can't say that for certain. If better coverage is found, please ping me. Let'srun ( talk ) 20:08, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Let'srun : May I ask, how did you find both this and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ľubomír Pištek , your only two votes in the past two days, in rapid succession, considering they both happen to be discussions in which I am involved and seem to be part of an ongoing trend at AFD of you either voting against me or making sure to critique my comments when you do ultimately agree with me? Additionally, tell me, what is the purpose of having a presumption of WP:SIGCOV if it has no weight and can be simply disregarded without even searching for any relevant sources, which is essentially what your vote is implying? BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 20:21, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Let'srun , thanks for your comment. I think the "presumption" of SIGCOV actually does mean that SIGCOV exists, that is what I think the definition of the word presumption means. Per WP:NEXISTS , if coverage is known to exist e.g. in a book, then I think that is valid grounds for keeping the article. Now, if the book text is retrieved but there is only a mention, then I think we would have to look for other sources, but that hasn't happened. -- Habst ( talk ) 21:07, 16 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the list of Sport of athletics-related deletion discussions .

Thanks, The Herald (Benison) ( talk ) 02:42, 21 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Wait I am tempted to say keep based on the presumed notability of winning at European tournaments twice, but let's shelf this until that source request mentioned above comes through, for a better picture of the landscape of coverage.  Kingsif ( talk ) 12:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] You are referring to the European Cup Second League, which was a nations tournament below the Super League and First League.
