So Fentress was on the US Field Hockey team at the 1936 Olympics, they were elimanated well before even coming close to earning a medal. We have ruled that only those who won medals at the olympics are default notable. I did a lot of searching for Fentress. I was able to find this link [1] which announces his birth, and makes the claim that his birth in 1913 made his father who was a member of the Princeton Class of 1901 the member of that class with the most children, with a total of 5 children. Even if that is true, and the wording suggests they do not actually know for sure it was true, it is not even remotely close to making Fentress himself notable, nor his father. I also came across a Princeton alumni publication article (well brief mention) naming Fentress as one of three Princeton Grads who were now in some way connected with the Berkshire School. I also came across sources like this which name his an an olympic participant [2] but do not seem to say anything of substance. The source that we have at present in the article is the type of extremely broad soarce that seeks to captrue everything and thus inclusion in it is not a sign of notability. I found this [3] mention from the Princeton Alumni Weekly, which amounts to 1 sentance saying he is the only participant at the 1936 olympics who was an undergrad at Prinecton in the 1935-1936 season. Alumni weekly's fail indepdent criteria when they are covering alumni of the institution, and a one sentence mention like that is not going to be enough to pass the substantial prong in the 5 prongs of GNG even if it passed all the others. This guy was a non-notable member of the field hockey team, that had a non-notable performance at the 1936 olympics. There is no way to find that Fentress is notable.
