List of Olympians killed in the Cold War

Last updated January 28, 2019

It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

Per various provisions at Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists, a list of just two people does not pass the notability rules for a list article, and the fact that two people share something similar is more a matter of trivia or coincidence. Also, the Vietnam War and Cold War are two different things.

If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming, or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason. Although not required, you are encouraged to explain why you object to the deletion, either in your edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, do not replace it .

The article may be deleted if this message remains in place for seven days, i.e., after 17:11, 3 February 2019 (UTC).

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article so that it is acceptable according to the deletion policy.
