Sveminas was a competitior in the Olympics who did not medal. We lack any significant sources on him and my search for sources in multiple databases came up with nothing. John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:58, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

- Obvious redirect if no sources can be found = per WP:PRESERVE and all the other arguments that have been regularly put forward for redirecting similar articles at the increasingly common recent AfD discussions. The only question is whether the article should be redirected to Athletics at the 1928 Summer Olympics – Men's 100 metres or Lithuania at the 1928 Summer Olympics. I really don't understand when a redirect is available why on earth we're at AfD here. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:44, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect per Blue Square Thing. I think I would go for Lithuania at the 1928 Summer Olympics. I agree this is a bad nom (one of many) given PRESERVE and the current redirection trend. NGS Shakin' All Over 21:25, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Lithuania at the 1928 Summer Olympics per all the above, WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R#KEEP, WP:CHEAP, etc, etc. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 06:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
