I am unable to find any significant coverage. The one source in the article is the only one I can see about this person. I don't think the subject meets WP:NOLYMPICS or WP:NATHLETE. Frost 16:27, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect to Ireland_at_the_1972_Summer_Olympics#Sailing. My own WP:BEFORE returned a handful of sources. Including an Irish Independent article which suggests that "
at the 1972 Munich Olympics {..} Joe McMenamin ranked 16th in the sailing competition six weeks shy of his 60th birthday, making him our {Ireland's} oldest Olympic athlete
". While not indicative of notability on its own, "Ireland's oldest (ever?) Olympian" is perhaps sufficient to warrant coverage within the related article. Per WP:WITHIN. And a redirect. Where, per WP:ATD-R, the Ireland_at_the_1972_Summer_Olympics#Sailing section would seem an "appropriate" redirect target for that title.... Guliolopez (talk) 20:31, 17 August 2024 (UTC) - Merge and redirect to Ireland_at_the_1972_Summer_Olympics#Sailing - I agree with this approach but would also support a deletion of the article. In any case, a standalone article is not merited. Go4thProsper (talk) 03:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
