   Pass/Fail:

• Is there a wikilink for flag bearer?
• There's a picture of him here that could be added to the article.
• Given the AfDs and stuff, I'd say you have scrounged up everything there is to find about this guy. Interesting article. I couldn't find anything else so nice work! ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:59, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
• @WikiOriginal-9: Linked flagbearer. As for the image, I think I remember someone uploaded a nicer, clear one in this edit but the image was deleted for not being PD (which it was uploaded as). I can't find it now... There's also an image that looks a bit clearer here of him with Muhammad Ali. Should I upload that one or the Olympedia one? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:00, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

  Either is okay. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 15:05, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

  @WikiOriginal-9: Image uploaded. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:17, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
