Non-notable skier with no medal record. Performed a before search, which didn't generate any third party sources to establish notability. Doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. I would also support a redirect to Military patrol at the 1948 Winter Olympics as an alternative to deletion. SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 19:37, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to Military patrol at the 1948 Winter Olympics as an alternative to deletion. A billion small hits in various newspaper sports sections around late 1940s and early 1950s (Unable to link; too recent to be publicly accessible), but these are largely passing mentions and run-of-the-mill sports event coverage. Think "Meriläinen came third" and maybe a short quote. The fi.wp article fi:Mikko Meriläinen has two book sources, of which I suspect Urheilumme Kasvot osa 1 ( transl. Faces of our sport, part 1), where Meriläinen is supposedly discussed on page 827, to be a rather indiscriminate list of every Finnish sports person ever. I suspect the other (Urheilukunniamme puolustajat – Suomen olympiaedustajat 1906–2000) is the same but for Olympians. I have access to neither, so I'd be happy to change my !vote if someone has access to those sources and can vouch for their depth of coverage. But as it is now, I'm not seeing the coverage required by our policies and guidelines. - Ljleppan ( talk) 08:01, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect as above to Military patrol at the 1948 Winter Olympics in the absence of further sources. Ingratis ( talk) 09:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
