I’m going to change it in the article now, although I know I shouldn’t.
Also, there are athletes far more noteable than me who don’t have articles - why do I have to have one? I don’t meet WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:NOLY, and there’s no evidence in the article that I meet WP:NATH
Probably added by somebody in anticipation of you competing in the upcoming Paralympics. It is true many athletes in past games do not have articles, because nobody has got around to writing them, but anybody can contribute.--Grahame (talk) 08:49, 25 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
I have not “been the subject of multiple published, non-trivial secondary sources”. A team list, an IPC profile and passing mentions in event reporting do not notability make. If you dig, you’ll find a local newspaper article from 2018, but I don’t even have an athlete profile on the Paralympics Aus webpage. And yet I somehow have a Wikipedia page?
