Fails both WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC #5. This is a stub that I created when we presumed notability for those who played in the NFL. (Olmstead appeared in six games as a guard for Louisville in 1922 and 1923.) The presumption was revoked by community-wide consensus, and I have searched extensively (including searches in the Louisville newspaper) for SIGCOV without success. I did find and add the family's paid death notice ( here), but such a notice lacks the required independence to contribute to notability. (As far as I can see, there is no obvious redirect target.

- According to Pro Football Archives and this source, the Olmstead who played for Louisville was actually named Larry. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 22:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- No SIGCOV under "Larry" either. Cbl62 ( talk) 22:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
