 * Keep: We discussed Heber Robert McBride's notability on the DYK nomination. His notability is based on his journal, which is often cited as a historical record of the Martin Handcart company. Under WP:ANYBIO his journals are " a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field."

 * I believe the reason that McBride is notable is that he kept an accurate journal of his pioneering journey. This journal has been cited regularly by sources looking into the settlement of Utah, and therefore McBride is covered by numerous reliable sources. That's WP:GNG right there, he's notable.

 * Keep The article by Hedges suggests that McBride was a significant force in the Ogden Valley in the late 19th-century. Beyond this, the level his journal gets quoted shows he is historically significant.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:49, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
