Fails

WP:SPORTSCRIT

#5, and suitable coverage is unlikely to be available as we don't know basic biographical details about him, such as his first name or date of birth, that would allow us to find such coverage.

Renominating after a procedural keep. Redirect is not suitable per

WP:R#DELETE #1; it would make it unreasonably difficult for readers to find other people who are mentioned or are notable with the same initials. BilledMammal (talk) 04:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply

Delete intial plus last name is not really a good point to redirect from. Beyond this the 1904 Olympics were hardly an Olympics at all, basically just an auxiliary to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, and not really a top international competition, so assuming that there is any reason to redirect from all the names of the competitors is just plain not justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:09, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete; oppose redirect. Fails GNG, and the 5 people listed at Ritter (surname)#P (among others) are more likely search targets; redirecting to a sports event would likely cause readers great surprise. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 08:58, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only sources are sports DB's, and we don't even know the first name. Fails every notability guideline. That's just not enough to go on, and unacceptable for redirect. Jacona (talk) 16:14, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This can be renamed to P. Ritter (gymnast) then P. Ritter can be redirected to the surname. Then the article can be redirected to the US 1904 Olympics page, and the AFD is unnecessary and can be deleted. Is there a reason this has not been done already, other than the opportunity to improve some participants' AFD stats? 82.132.185.171 (talk) 21:03, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
An excellent proposition! Jacona (talk) 13:49, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no value in retaining such an obscure redirect and there is no content or article history worth preserving since all we have just a mirror of the database it was copied from (so fails
WP:NOT). _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 14:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply
