Deletion of William McKinley, Sr.

Comment: to William McKinley. Not inherently notable per , and the article's brief enough that it can be incorporated into the one on his more famous son. It can always be recreated if stronger evidence of notability is found, but I'm not seeing it at the moment

Comment: He raised a world leader.  Even if, ''arguendo'', the parents of a Dead Presidents (disambiguation)|dead president on the $500 Bill is not ''per se'' notable, this guy certainly is so.  First off, he was a wealthy enough businessman to pay for his son to go to Albany Law School, a major proposition in the 19th century, rather than merely "Internship|read" for the law.  Thus, he had to have been a big businessman in his day.  Secondly, he had a ''New York Times'' obituary, which is one of the best ways to prove notability of a deceased American.  Thirdly, there are already plenty of other sources in the article to prove notability. Finally, Melanesian obsession has been making several |pointy nominations for some reason, so this nom should also be discounted
