While WP:NOLYMPICS says that anyone who participated in the Olympics is "automatically notable" (I'm on the fence about how much I agree with that), Herrera (as far as I'm aware) never even set foot in Tokyo: he was a replacement for someone who had to drop due to COVID, and never managed to find transport. Thus, "he competed" is incorrect and thus I do not believe NOLYMPICS is applicable. Primefac (talk) 15:11, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to either Costa Rica at the 2020 Summer Olympics#Surfing or Surfing at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's shortboard#Heat 5, both of which explain that he was called up to compete and didn't (my preference would be redirect to the Costa Rica article). He's not notable enough to pass WP:GNG for sure, but this redirect will give some information about him, and his Olympic non-participation. If he becomes notable in future, the redirect could be reverted. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:26, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 15:34, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not a very likely search term, being non-notable. I very much disagree on writing up Olympic participants before the Olympics, and here we see one of the reasons. Geschichte (talk) 21:05, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NOLYMPICS as he never actually participated. Fails WP:GNG. Not a likely search term so a redirect is not needed.4meter4 (talk) 23:57, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
