Luna finished last in the pentathlon at the 1920 Olympics with a score of 91, some 73 points higher (worse) than the gold medalist. Fails both WP:GNG, WP:SPORTBASIC (no SIGCOV in article, only databases), and WP:NOLYMPICS (no medal). Cbl62 (talk) 02:00, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Delete. This kind of participation is not notable enough and the article is doomed to remain an "eternal stub". Waterdoyle (talk) 19:32, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Modern pentathlon at the 1920 Summer Olympics as an WP:ATD, unless further coverage can be found (e.g. in newspapers). BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:08, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- While I would normally be fine with a redirect, it doesn't make sense when, as here, the name is common and there are other persons with that name who have equal or greater claims to notability. It is not doing readers a service if they are searching for the author/scholar Adriano Lanza (see here) to be redirected to a page on an obscure competition in the 1920 Olympics.

Keep - This article was written by Lugnuts. I don't know if anything involving him should be deleted right now considering how high profile and sensitive his situation has become. I really have to question why one of his stubs is being put up here when there's probably tens of thousands of stubs that could have been nominated. The article passed 2012 standards and was here for years without a problem, yet is being deleted under new standards that did not exist then. It's not fair to judge an article that already passed based on new standards, since the standards did not exist at the time the article was created. If a rule is made tomorrow that all articles have to contain the world "jello" in them or be deleted, everything would have to go. We can't have this here.KatoKungLee (talk) 17:28, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Nonsense. Consensus can and does change. As for the concern about WP:JELLOMANDATE, this is simply reductio ad absurdum. Cbl62 (talk) 15:22, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: Per nom. Fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:NOLYMPICS. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:53, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - whether or not this meets outdated guidelines from 2012 and whether or not the original creator is banned are both besides the point, here. I've searched and can't find anything towards WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. Since WP:NOLY is also failed, we have no place else to go here. It's an easy decision. Delete. I also oppose redirect per Cbl's point above that there are many people with this name with a similar level of notability. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:54, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comments- Going by the new rules this doesn't pass notability, but I am of the opinion that considering the online Media isn't as loud as this during that time for news coverage and documentation. If it passes the old rules it shouldn't be deleted.Epcc12345 (talk) 06:53, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
