Fails WP:NSPORTS. No sources cited in the article that aren't wide-sweeping databases with low inclusion criteria.
In my WP:BEFORE I did a google search that turned up statistical databases. I then searched Newspapers.com, which turned up a dozen or so one-sentence mentions [can be seen here]. None of these is significant coverage of Creth Hines under WP:SIGCOV. Instead every one of them is a brief mention that covers the same fact: that Creth Hines was a javelin thrower at Georgetown.

- Keep. Kind of surprised I wasn't able to find more for this U.S. national champion. But I do think we have enough, although its close, for a pass of notability. The Houston Public Library gives 108 words (WP:100WORDS) on Hines, including stating that he was discussed in the book Ku Klux Kulture: America and the Klan in the 1920s for starting up the first Ku Klux Klan baseball team of its kind. Newspapers.com has some coverage, e.g. an AP story ("Creth Hines Hoping To Set New Record"), a NY Daily News article ("Creth Hines, Georgetown, Eyes Olympic Team"), and a Washington Evening Star article from decades after his career; then there's also shorter pieces that could be considered on the edge of sigcov, e.g. here, here, here and here. Added up, I think its sufficient to pass WP:GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:13, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
