Article expansion edit

A decision at AFD was to "keep" because "it can be expanded using the articles in the Slovenian, German, Swedish or German Wikipedias", "Subject was born pre internet era, there would more sources in print from Yugoslavia media. Pass WP:NSPORT and WP:ANYBIO.", and "Plenty of sources available and passes WP:NOLY". I decided to expand the article. I ran into issues with translations because the articles listed were sourced with International Ski Organization and sports-reference.com that did not provide sufficient information and are primary source "External links" only.
German Wikipedia has two "Web links" (External links): Sports-Reference and International Ski Federation (FIS)
Slovene Wikipedia has two External Links: FIS page (English) and sports-reference.com
Swedish Wikipedia has two "sources" (External links"): International Ski Federation's website (FIS) and Sports Reference.
Italian Wikipedia has two "External links": FIS and sports-reference.com
Wikidata shows zero references

Copying from one of the above would be from primary sources and offer a little different twist on the same two sources.

  • 3)- One actor's theater? & # 8211; Calgary 1988: "The first competition, played on February 14 on the normal hill, began with a long jump on 85 meters Rajko Lotrič. One and a half meters closer Steve Collins jumped. The Canadian lost with the Yugoslavian by 2.9 points." and "Rajko Lotric (74 m) and Primoz Ulaga (72 m) fell out of the top twenty of the competition!". Content source but not providing notability.
  • 4)- A total of 154 people have been saved by the Slovenian helicopter team, among them ten babies: If the same person: A helicopter rescue specialist.
  • 5)- Historical day of cross-country skiing - double Slovenian victory!: Mentions "1988 - Primož Ulaga , Rajko Lotrič (ski jumps, Planica)".
  • 6)Triglav on independence - Name mentioned only. ----I tired of searching.
  • According to the External sourced only "Swedish Wikipedia" the subject placed seventh in 1981, 2nd in 1988, top ten in competitions in the World Cup 6 times, and number 20 overall, the 1987/1988 season. During the "Ski World Cup 1982" the subject was number 46 in the normal hill, and number 34 in the big hill. At the "Ski World Championships 1989" he placed 52nd. At the "1988 Olympic Games in Calgary" he placed number 26. At the World Cup in Štrbské Pleso in 1991 (his last competition) he placed number 54.

I did find an image.

Results edit

Being a world cup or Olympic Games contender might be considered inherently notable. I do not support this line of thinking so someone else will have to expand the article. I find less grounds to notability claims than I did before according to the various policies and guidelines for articles especially BLP's. Copying from the other Wikipedia's with "External links" as sources is a possibility but those reportedly do not contribute to notability. I could not find biographical information "out there" just some stats so maybe someone else can. If there are no better sources it means that, short of just copying the redundant primary source information to the article or using some of the above to fluff it up, it will remain a pseudo biographical dictionary entry.
