Al Kessel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. The only reliable sources I can find are those that confirm his death. Sincere condolences to his family and friends, but unless he received reliable coverage in his lifetime, then I don't see how he is notable. The sources in the article appears to be nothing more than obituaries. Also, if there is coverage for his supermarket chain, then make an article about that and merge any information about him to that article. As a sign of respect, if anyone finds any reliable sources about him from before he died, I will withdraw this nomination. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:24, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Move to Kessel Foods. I found a source verifying the beginnings of the grocery chain. This source and this also give more historical info on the chain. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:35, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, a search for "Al Kessel" in Google News found several years' worth of coverage regarding both Al Kessel and his supermarket chain. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:40, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * But are most sources about the supermarket chain rather than about Kessel? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:58, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Most of it does mention Al, but overall, they seem to be more about the chain than its founder, which is why I suggested that the article be moved to Kessel Foods or something. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:11, 30 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep or Move per Ten Pound Hammer --Dr who1975 (talk) 04:22, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Move or redirect as suggested above after Kessel Foods (which would seem to pass WP:CORPDEPTH) is created. Stalwart 111  11:40, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I have created Kessel Food Markets, to which the Al Kessel content may be merged. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:47, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The AfD should probably run its course first, to see if there is consensus to merge to Kessel Food Markets. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 22:58, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
