H. MacHenry

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT #5, and suitable coverage is unlikely to be available as we don't know basic biographical details about him, such as his first name or date of birth, that would allow us to find such coverage.

Renominating after a procedural keep. Redirect is not suitable per WP:R #1; it would make it unreasonably difficult for readers to find other people who are mentioned or are notable with the same initials. BilledMammal (talk) 04:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * This guy won an Olympic medal, so Redirect to Sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics – 3 to 10 ton. A redirect is suitable per WP:R #1, WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE and WP:CHEAP.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 07:42, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The above claim is false. No Olympic medals were given until the 1904 games, so no the person did not win a medal.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:46, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 1900 not 1904, per this which shows he did win a medal.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 12:51, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * In 1900, only three sports received medals for third place - gymnastics, firefighting, and shooting. As a sailor, M. MacHenry would not have received one. BilledMammal (talk) 13:16, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Olympedia states "We’ve not been able to identify this athlete to know anything further of his life". I think that's a fail on WP:N. Jacona (talk) 11:00, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable individual. I can't advocate a redirect alternative when the first name of the individual isn't even known and therefore the current title is potentially too ambiguous. Bungle (talk • contribs) 09:36, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
