Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harold Grocott
I've added further references that show that "Harold Grocott" was the H. Grocott that competed at the 1934 British Empire Games: https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NA19340914.2.70.2, http://bowlsnewzealand.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/mens-capped-list.pdf, http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/AS19351118.2.145. Clearly it wasn't his brother Horace, as Horace's entry in the ''Dictionary of New Zealand Biography'' (https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/4g22/grocott-horace) shows that Horace was living in South Canterbury at the time, not Auckland, and it would be expected participation in the British Empire Games would be included in his DNZB entry had it been the case. The one reference naming G.R. Scott as the fourth member of the New Zealand foursome in 1934 is clearly a typo or mistranscription, as all the other references name him as either H. Grocott or Harold Grocott. As mentioned by {{reply to|RebeccaGreen}}, it is easy to see how Grocott in cursive script could be seen as G.R. Scott.  is not helpful as it only mentions the Commonwealth Games (formerly known as the British Empire Games) in relation to five particular sports (namely athletics, badminton, gymnastics, rugby sevens, and triathlon), but I'm sure that nobody is suggesting that the Empire / Commonwealth Games are not notable. In this case, we need to consider , which states that, "A sportsperson is presumed to be notable if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition". Clearly the Empire / Commonwealth Games is a major amateur competition, and indeed until the advent of the World Bowls Championship in 1966, it was the highest level international competition for lawn bowls
