This article is basically a glorified obituary for a recently deceased man. The article's assertion of notability seems, essentially, to be that the subject was a distributor for a dairy and franchisee of several fast food outlets. Subject seems to have been an upstanding citizen, but I'm not quite sure the he meets the notability requirements. Bellhalla (talk) 06:33, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. With all due respect to Mr. Newman's family, etc., there's not enough here to make him notable.  --Lockley (talk) 20:16, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - The article already is well sourced and meets WP:N as is. It needs additional cleaning up is all. Also, the likelihood of additional reliable sources being avaialble for this topic is strong. In addition to Newman Elementary School being named after B.P. Newman, there is Newman Park, Newman Recreation Center, and Newman Scholarship Fund at Texas A&M University. -- Suntag  ☼  19:39, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – as Suntag pointed out, what this article needs is style & tone cleanup, not deletion. &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 02:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
