 * The existence of a website not necessarily means that the subject is notable. The Banner talk 15:08, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Plus WP:NOTINHERITED applies. McKenzie is notable, the expeditions less so. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 01:55, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete in the absence of sources or evidence of notability. I see one book result and some hints that there was coverage at one point or another, but nothing sufficient to sway me. Also, bloody hell that title is a mouthful. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 18:46, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Redirect??
 * Redirect to Alexander Mackenzie (explorer), and remove the link from Template:Canoeing and kayaking: There's a bit more if you search for "Alexander McKenzie" "bicentennial", but not much more. I've added a small para to the proposed target, but at least a couple of sourced paragraphs would be possible as part of a larger section on the bicentennial as a whole (Not volunteering, though), which appears to have a level of notability including the creation of the Alexander Mackenzie Trail in its leadup, government spending, issues of Canadian nationalism and First Nations protest, the release of a coin by the Royal Canadian Mint, and the expedition. Indications are there'd be further offline RS coverage given launches and welcomes.  ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 09:57, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect and selective merge to Alexander Mackenzie (explorer) per . The expeditions are worth describing in a paragraph or so in the Mackenzie article, but don't warrant the excessive detail of the current article. (Please note the spelling of the disambiguated title.) -Arxiloxos (talk) 16:15, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
