Does not meet any of the criteria listed for track & field and long-distance running. (1) did not finish top 8 of the European Athletics Championships, Commonwealth Games, or any of the 6 World Major Marathons. (2) did not finish in the top 3 in any other major senior-level international competition. (3) Have not won an individual gold medal at the IAAF World Junior Championships or Youth World Championships. The list continues. Also, 2 out of the 4 sources used are sport-aggregate websites that collect statistics about any and every athlete. In the 3rd ref, he was mentioned in passing. He might be good at the Youth level, but he did not win any international events. FuzzyMagma (talk) 15:20, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Keep. The Sudanese flagbearer at the 2024 Olympics. Significant coverage here and here in accordance with WP:GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:32, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Two sources above are fine for notability. Rest are also helpful Oaktree b (talk) 16:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep, the subject meets WP:NCOLLATH for the major NCAA DI school records he has set. Even if he didn't meet that criteria, the WP:GNG overriding the specific guidelines is met per above. Also, don't you think that if we wait just one more day, we will have some more articles / coverage considering he is running the Olympic marathon tomorrow? --Habst (talk) 20:42, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep As others have mentioned, this page meets GNG, warranting inclusion, even if it did not meet any SNG (which it does). WP:SPORTBASIC: Meets the requirement of being the subject of multiple non-trivial publications (see the two currently referenced in the wiki page, with more to follow following the marathon). Furthermore, he has garnered African and American media attention as he is DEBUTING at the Olympic Marathon. Additionally, I am not sure what source references him in passing, but sports aggregate websites are not able to establish notability alone, however with the already existing sources where Abdalla is the subject, they are able to add context. --Wibbit23 (talk) 20:39, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Tons of coverage and existing sources, really strange nomination. Also, NCAA is not "youth" level, and he competed in the Olympics... Seacactus 13 (talk) 18:03, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
