So what would you do if the person who crossed the Atlantic requested deletion of their biography? If this policy got off the ground we'd get rid of a fine bio (presumably true too) just because they asked. Readers wouldn't be able to find out what he/she did on Wikipedia even though it should've been covered. A policy like this would need to be refined. For example 1) It should be regarding people who's sole claim to notability is a crime that never went to court.
I would merge it to solo Atlantic crossings, or find evidence tat there is widespread coverage independent of that one achievement.
Of course, it is not terribly /likely/ that this person will request removal, whereas such requests form those whose "achievements" are rather less laudable is not quite so rare.
