@Schwede66,Lugnuts,David Biddulph, andMaterialscientist: Do we have any evidence thatRaoul Paoli (Olympic athletics competitor and wrestler) andPaoli (Olympic rower) at Sports-Reference are identical, as claimed by this article? It appears very unlikely to me, to be honest. SR claims that the rower was affiliated with a club located somewhat close to Bordeaux, while Raoul Paoli was living near or in Paris. —MisterSynergy (talk)15:41, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The database behind Sports Reference, and now the IOC, has the following note on the rower: "Some sources list this athlete as the same person as [...] Raoul Paoli, but we consider this unlikely, given the age, weight and origin of the two Paolis." Considering that the fact that these two are the same person is cited to SR, it should probably be removed, since SR does not make that claim.CanadianPaul20:02, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
