Delete - National silver medal is their best performance but WP:NSKATE #2 requires gold. My deprod was in error. Apologies. ~Kvng (talk) 19:36, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to 2006_German_Figure_Skating_Championships: Note that WP:NSKATE is indicative that sigcov is likely, and is not presumptive/determinative, so someone could meet none of the NSKATE criteria but still meet WP:SPORTCRIT for some reason. That said, Boll doesn't appear to have sigcov, so redirect him to the championship where he and Kolbe got their win as an ATD. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 01:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There are a whole bunch of similarly deficient nominations. Really, such blanket nominations without evidence of WP:BEFORE and consideration of WP:ATD should be all procedurally kept as WP:SKCRIT#3 given lack of a valid deletion rationale as WP:NSKATE is indicative that sigcov is likely, and is not presumptive/determinative, so someone could meet none of the NSKATE criteria but still meet WP:SPORTCRIT for some reason. That said, it's quite possible that most of these should be delete or redirect results. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 01:54, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Oppose redirect. Searches for Paul Boll find nothing on this one. There are more famous namesakes, such as Paul Boll, inventor of the Attrition Mill, or Paul Boll the late 19th century philologist. There is also an active researcher of that name. Not eligible for SK3. The issue is clearly notability, and this one is not notable. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:18, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
