Delete or Redirect. Only medal winners at Paralympics qualify under
WP:NOLY, not all participants, so keep votes based on this error are invalid, the subject ended in 11th place. There is only one source that complies with
WP:RS,
WP:IS and
WP:DEPTH, thus it fails
WP:GNG too, and also per
WP:BLP1E. --

Redirect to
Samoa at the 2016 Summer Paralympics Clearly does not meet
WP:NSPORT and the coverage is insufficient to meet
WP:GNG. It's a one line article with no information that is not already in the redirect target I gave. This article has fewer sources and less information than the article on fellow Samoan Paralympian
Alefosio Laki, whose AfD was closed as a redirect to the same target I've proposed (see
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alefosio Laki). The keep voters that claim she's notable simply for competing at the Paralympics are wrong and should read
WP:NOLY.
WP:GNG is not met with the only source being local coverage of her going to the Paralympics, which is something every Paralympian would have.

I think everything after July 8th should all be in a new deletion discussion (and Keep) Hi, I remember this discussion being closed conclusively as keep about a month ago, and if you look at the top four replies they are all either Keep or Strong Keep. It looks like someone reverted that without any note or mention of it on the page. I understand it was a non-admin closure (I had nothing to do with that because I only saw this discussion after it was closed), but that non-admin closure was perfectly within Wikipedia policy, as it was very supported by the votes and was not contested at all at the time. I really don't think it is fair at all to reopen a closed discussion nearly a month later with an organized attempt to delete / redirect the article. I do not think this discussion can take place here without opening a new deletion discussion page.
I also think the article should be kept per many of the reasons above, and I was actually planning on adding some prose to it some time this weekend. I'll flesh out a more complete keep argument later, but in the mean time I just wanted to say that I really don't think this is the proper way to do this, and I'm happy to respond to any concerns of course. --

Unfortunately the reversal of the close and relisting that had not been completed properly in terms of the neccessary notifications, and also the
WP:CANVASSING that has subsequently occurred has muddied the waters too much, so I think that the best option now is a quick procedural close without prejudice against a new AFD. As I am
WP:INVOLVED I am disqualified from using my admin mop here, someone else will have to do it.

I'm not sure that
WP:CANVASSING applies since it says canvassing "is notification done with the intention of influencing the outcome of a discussion in a particular way" and I notified everyone who had shown an interest in AfD discussions on Samoan paralympians--regardless of side. If I made a mistake, I apologize because my intention was to get as many participants as possible in a discussion that was suddenly reopened a month later without fanfare or notice. I had planned on taking the original closure to DRV and suddenly found it was active again.

redirect None of the keep voters have proven there's a policy based reason for keeping this article. Seems more like
WP:ILIKEIT than anything else. Anyway, the redirect target has more info than the current article. Just to be sure I did my own search and it didn't show me that the GNG is met.
