The result was keep. So there was enough material presented to counterweight the nominator's rationale, whilst the only other delete !vote appears to be based on the quality of the prose (cf., WP:DINC), which is not a reason for deletion. Likewise, the keep !votes- although 'weak;- were based firmly on policy. There was certainly no consensus to delete, and enough strength of argument against that to fall towards a 'keep' outcome.

Alton Jones Jr

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A fisherman for whom the only refs are a niche fishing publisher - for the whole lot see here it certainly doesn't add to notability by a very long way. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 14:53, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Reads like it's self published or someone close to Jones wrote it.  However, there is coverage on Jones such as this article  by Scout.com a sports publishing company in which Jones is profiled, I think there is a good chance Jones has enough coverage for an article, but this article needs a complete re-write.

 * Delete -- mostly gibberish, as in: "Alton Jones Jr: Was born in Lorena, Texas and is his father’s predecessor". What the what?? K.e.coffman (talk) 07:23, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. I'm no fishing expert (or even knowledgeable in any way) but the coverage mentioned by Cllgbksr above, combined with sources like    seems to be sufficient per WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. Content problems (like "gibberish") can be addressed by editing, which also includes WP:STUBIFYing until someone else writes better prose. Regards  So  Why  12:20, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep Winning awards in regards to his fishing exploits establishes the notability of the subject in my opinion. The page does need to be improved, and is too promotional at the moment, but could be trimmed down.--SamHolt6 (talk) 14:03, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
