The result was redirect‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ to Thailand at the 1984 Summer Olympics. I don't see a good, policy-based reason NOT to have a Redirect. Liz Read! Talk! 03:38, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Declined prod that was redirected. I contested the redirect Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2025_January_8#Manop_Leeprasansakul. Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT and WP:NOLY. LibStar (talk) 02:57, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

  • Comment: Googling his name in Thai turns up a few hits in relation to his work as a police officer ([https://dspace.spu.ac.th/items/d3dc2b7a-ebbb-46ea-9c2a-96c9ba86490d his 2004 Master's thesis], [https://mgronline.com/crime/detail/9510000023409 2008 news mentioning a transfer to the Inspector General's office], [https://www.royalthaipolice.go.th/downloads/policephonebook59.pdf 2016 contact directory giving the rank of Pol.Lt.Col.]) in addition to passing mentions in articles about Thailand in international sporting events[https://www.station-thai.com/savesports/8852/][https://www.station-thai.com/savesports/39856/], but nothing that could be considered in-depth. The latter two links indicate he's a gold medallist at the 1981 and 1989 SEA Games though. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:23, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

  • Let's just delete without prejudice to redirecting to an appropriate target once that is shown to exist. Maybe a list of sports shooters who represented Thailand internationally could be created. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:41, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Redirect per below now that there's a potential target. --Paul_012 (talk) 01:23, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

  • Pinging User:BeanieFan11, who previously de-PRODed and redirected the page. --Paul_012 (talk) 19:39, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
  • Why not just redirect it to Thailand at the 1984 Summer Olympics? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:24, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
  • Presumably because there was no mention of the name, though it's since been added by Ingratis. --Paul_012 (talk) 01:21, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete I can't find any significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. AgusTates (talk) 00:13, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Thailand at the 1984 Summer Olympics per BeanieFan11. Nom fails to give any reason for contesting the previous redirect, which is the usual fallback for Olymmpians' articles judged not to meet current notability standards. Ingratis (talk) 09:16, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
  • :I support deletion over redirect for failing WP:SPORTSCRIT and WP:NOLY. LibStar (talk) 01:31, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
  • ::Obviously, but that's not an answer, is it? Ingratis (talk) 01:56, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
  • :::I just gave a reason for why I contested the redirect. Please re-read again. LibStar (talk) 01:58, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
  • ::::No, you didn't - you gave a reason why you wanted to delete the article, not the redirect. Try again, this time bearing in mind :WP:ATD, :WP:REDIRECT (with particular reference to the redirect cat R to list entry) and previous practice with this sort of article (i.e., those on Olympians considered by current guidelines not to be notable). Are you implying that all such redirects should be deleted, or that you intend to oppose all such in future? or why are you challenging this redirect in particular? Ingratis (talk) 03:11, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
  • :::::The original redirect linked to a target article where this athlete's name wasn't mentioned. That's why I contested the redirect. I still support deletion. I will not respond further. LibStar (talk) 03:13, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
  • ::::::(a) Not what you said; (b) it does now, so: (c) on what grounds? (d) speaks for itself. Ingratis (talk) 03:18, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
