The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. There is a clear consensus against keeping this. With regards to a redirect, which I generally favor when practicable, there does not appear to be anything supported by sources to redirect to. Unfortunately that leaves us with deletion.

Completely unverifiable. Doesn't seem to be mentioned in the first source, and while I can't check the second one, that source is about a different MacCormac, Henry. Worse, I can't find any reference to this Hamilton Edmund (or Edmond) MacCormac (or MacCormack) in any online source (regular or Books). Fram (talk) 10:00, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Henry MacCormac (physician) is another brother (e.g. see this manuscript addressed to his brother). I don't see how Hamilton MacCormac passes GNG - not on the sources here nor with what I'm able to drag up in a search (and this is the sort of period where just about everything is digitized and out of copyright - should be easy to find).

Redirect to the section of John MacCormac where he is mentioned. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:52, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- That section is unreferenced as well, so perhaps of redirecting there we should remove that section as well? The source given by Icewhiz doesn't seem to mention any Hamilton either... Fram (talk) 22:09, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and add to MacCormac family of County Armagh, Northern Ireland. One line should do. Narky Blert (talk) 14:08, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Where is the reliable evidence for this Hamilton? Fram (talk) 18:58, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There is no consensus whether there is an appropriate redirect target.

Delete. I can read a bit of the second source on Google books, just enough to confirm the name and story about being improperly jailed. It says he was the brother of the timber merchant. However, not nearly enough to build a biography on, nor enough to show he was notable. His family was prominent in Sierra Leone's history, but the seems to be little said of him.
