Declined prod. All the sources provided are databases or results listings and not SIGCOV for meeting WP:SPORTSBASIC. Keep voters should provide actual in-depth sources and not simply invoke NEXIST. LibStar (talk) 14:53, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Women, Olympics, Sport of athletics, and Central African Republic. LibStar (talk) 14:53, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
• Keep via WP:NEXIST. I understand the nominating statement, but per comment, {{tq|"It goes against our ethics on ADL for a nominator to dictate to the community which guidlines they should not invoke in their rationale/votes"}}.

: There's a few details on this AfD that make this subject a better NEXIST candidate than most other athlete biographies. Subject qualified for the Olympics in two different events, and set three national records that still stand throughout her career. We have data from three different independently-compiled WP:RS describing a career over nine years, far longer than most other Olympians. And most importantly, the Central African Republic newspapers which would have covered the subject have not been checked because their archives are not available online:

:* Be Afrika: No online archive

:* Centrafrique Presse: Earliest online archive is from [https://centrafrique-presse.over-blog.com/page/2554 February 2008]

:* Le Citoyen: Archive [https://gcollections.crl.edu/resources/le-citoyen here] only covers some months from 1999 and 2000, it's worth a look but is only available to CRL member institutions

:* Le Confident: No online archive

:* Le Democrate: No online archive found

:* E Le Songo: No online archive found

:* Echo de Centrafrique: No online archive found

: Because the most likely avenues for coverage have not not been checked, there is a systemic bias against African countries, and the RS and WP:V info we do have is indicative of notability, a keep decision would be justified. --Habst (talk) 16:26, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: Well, there is some confirmation that the person exists in the BNF Gallica resource [https://gallica.bnf.fr/services/engine/search/sru?operation=searchRetrieve&version=1.2&query=%28gallica%20all%20%22Brigitte%20Nganaye%22%29&lang=fr&suggest=0], the "athlétisme" magazine has this person listed. I don't find anything else about them. I understand bias, but we have no sources. There might not be coverage in the CAF newspaper archives; I don't want to see a bunch of stub articles left around because we're unable to verify the sourcing.

• Redirect to Central African Republic at the 1992 Summer Olympics: Subject lacks the needed WP:SIGCOV to meet the WP:GNG. As it stands all of the sources present in the article are databases or are otherwise primary. Participation based criteria for the Olympics has been depreciated so WP:NEXIST does not apply here. Redirect as a WP:ATD. Let'srun (talk) 22:02, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
• :@Let'srun, taking into account three national records set would be achievement-based criteria, not participation-based. --Habst (talk) 01:21, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
• ::Please stop making things up, now with NRs as "achievement-based criteria" Geschichte (talk) 17:54, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• :::@Geschichte, I have a lot of respect for both your and Let'srun's contributions. Setting a national record is an achievement and not only a participation. --Habst (talk) 18:06, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• Redirect to Central African Republic at the 1992 Summer Olympics: as an AtD should future CAR sources be found to build out an article. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:50, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
