Lawton was not a medalists, and so does not pass notability that way. He did evidently win a canoeing competition in 1939, but my searching did not even give me a good context for what this competition was. My searching for sources turned up no additional sources. The two sources we have here are neither of the type that would constitute a passing of GNG, and GNG requires more sources than we have here to be passed anyway. Unless we have an article that I could not find about the canoeing competition he won, we should not redirect the article, because that was his highest profile sporting action, so if we do not keep the article it should be the target.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:44, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- >>I think people who refused a redirect should be forced to only vote keep or delete, and should not be allowed to again propose a redirect at AfD they opposed earlier. - That's nice. I think people should be free to change their minds and express whatever opinion they have. Carrite (talk) 03:59, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- OK, I did find this which on page 164 mentions that Lawton's performance as the best for Britain in 1936, where he placed 8th, and mentions that he was going to be in attendance at the 1948 Olympics as an assistant to someone. It is a very passing mention, and I do not think enough to pass GNG, and even if it were, we would need more sources to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:51, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Delete Clearly not enough RS here for GNG. Deathlibrarian (talk) 10:17, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep British national champion. At worst, restore Lambert's redirect, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. Lugnuts 15:34, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
- We still have zero SigCov. Also, I think people who refused a redirect should be forced to only vote keep or delete, and should not be allowed to again propose a redirect at AfD they opposed earlier. It also seems that Lugnuts is specifically targeting all my redirects for reversal while leaving others editors alone. Considering his recent admitted revenge creations of AfDs against articles I created, in which he failed to even notify me of the AfDs, he has shown a consistent pattern of gaming discussions that is being too often ignored. Misplaced Pages articles must be based on Sigcov.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:41, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:GNG through lack of significant coverage. I also find it concerning that these redirects are being removed forcing us to go through this process at AFD when the person who removed the redirect was unable to find any indication of notability.

- Note: I oppose keeping a redirect, as a disambiguated article is not a likely search term and thus not a useful redirect. 05:46, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. British champion, so would appear to be sufficiently notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:18, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
