The result was delete. The argument that this fails NOLYMPICS is compelling, with nobody arguing for a "keep" based on GNG. Randykitty (talk) 17:09, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Lenghty career on the highest international level, though I don't read Greek sources. Geschichte (talk) 19:27, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Representing the country in the Olympics is enough to pass the notability. She even placed among the top 8. - The9Man ^(Talk) 17:33, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOLYMPICS seems to suggest that Filandra would need to get a medal in the Olympics to be automatically notable. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:50, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Having seen hundreds of athlete bios pass through AFD since the notability guidelines were revised earlier this year, that is my understanding of the current rules, Spiderone. Mere participation in a notable event is not enough any longer. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:02, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

She came 23rd in the Olympics not 8th. LibStar (talk) 01:49, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, does not pass WP:NOLYMPICS as she did not receive a medal, and she also does not pass WP:GNG, a search under the Greek transliteration of her name (Ελένη Φιλάνδρα) brought up nothing but database listings and social media. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:08, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Final relist. Some participating editors are not informed at how notability standards for athletes has drastically changed since last spring.

Weak delete I believe participation in the Olympics is only notable for a Wikipedia article if you win a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal. Trillfendi (talk) 17:21, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There appears to be some sporadic coverage of her performance over the years e.g. [1]. If this is all a bunch of two-sentence articles about her times, I'd regard this as routine coverage not contributing to notability. It does appear to merit a deeper look in Greek though. --GGT (talk) 17:15, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
