I'm not trying to step on the toes of the editors
involved in this, but take
for example the article on Michael Perham who became the youngest sailor to
cross the Atlantic. That's clearly notable, but the article was deleted
because it stated "he was believed to become the youngest person to cross
the Atlantic". Clearly that's crystal-ballery, but a mere Google search
would've shown he already finished the trip at the time and that there was
plenty of news articles to use as sources.
Yes. I have an essay somewhere which uses Eric Moussambani as an
example. As losing finalist in a single Olympic swimming event we
would delete the article. As "Eric the Eel" it's an unambiguous keep.
