The result was keep. Sourced reference that he was indeed a world champion, the fact that he was a survivor of the Titanic wreck is secondary. (non-admin closure) Ifnord (talk) 01:07, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable passenger of the Titanic; minimal RS coverage outside of this single event. –dlthewave ☎ 16:41, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did the nominator actually read the article? He is a World raquets champion, the titanic note is an additional piece of information. How can a sports world champion not be notable?Racingmanager (talk) 17:06, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Soutar was one of the best players ever and was so devastating with his serve they changed the rules in the US to one serve instead of two. Leave this article as it is and do not delete. History needs to be preserved, not covered up or eliminated. Once deleted, it may never re-surface ever again.

Keep Passes WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Yes, a lot of the gbooks sources cover him as a Titanic survivor, but they state he was a notable passenger as a world champion. Iffy★Chat -- 09:21, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - agreed, Passes GNG as a champion Racket player. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:14, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
