 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete WP:CSD. With apologies to the article's creator, simply outlining a competent individual who had a reasonable job is not sufficiently significant for a biography in a worldwide encyclopedia. If somebody wants to create a draft article using the source found during this discussion, that would be a good way to proceed. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:55, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

This article doesn't meet general notability guidelines as the subject didn't do anything to have a stand alone article. Marvellous Spider -Man 14:10, 9 September 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * As it stands the article is clearly in WP:A7 territory, but a glance at the Google Books results linked above shows that he might be notable as a mountain climber. Why on Earth didn't the article creator mention this? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:31, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Charles Sproull Thompson just happened to be somewhere where an important event occurred. See Whyte archives if you can get in.  He was present for the failed historic climb which killed Phillip Abbot.  See the Abbott Pass hut wikipedia article.  I'm trying to correct history.  These are known facts by those of us who know.  There is no plagiarism  I report the facts and cite the sources which have info.  If you require a major study, and legal proof, I will require payment for the research.  Sorry for the errors in my correcting history.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betrway (talk • contribs) 23:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. He was a mountaineer who fell and couldn't get up (at least by himself), but survived. Could be redirected to Mount Thompson (Alberta), which is named after him, if anybody is willing to create that article. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:57, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
