• Keep per magazine coverage, which covers the subject in prose, is at least three pages long, and is not a database source to fulfill WP:SPORTCRIT. --Habst (talk) 15:09, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
• Keep, we know that he competed at two Olympics, set some still-standing Equatoguinean records, later coached some of their Olympic athletes and we have a source that we know contains three pages of coverage of him. No Equatoguinean sources have been searched. None. This is where I think it is reasonable to invoke the NEXIST argument – we have sources we know cover him in some depth, and know that he was a highly accomplished athletic figure in Equatorial Guinea. It is very likely that the Equatoguinean newspapers of the day would have covered him significantly, whether for his Olympic career, his setting of national records, or for coaching some of their prominent Olympians later on in life. The issue is that none of those sources likely to cover him are currently accessible to us, except for the one that we do know covers him on three pages and has a decent chance of being SIGCOV.
