Bertram Dean

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Other than being a survivor of the Titanic disaster, I have not been able to find anything notable about this person. He did not contribute to any Titanic-related events after the sinking like his sister or Edith Brown, was never interviewed for any documentaries or film like Eva Hart or Michel Navratil, and never featured in any books like Ruth Becker or Louise Kink. On top of that, he did not have a career or lifestyle than would merit a Wikipedia and almost everything in the article is copied word for word from this website. I am also nominating the following related pages because for lack of evidence proving notability and having their entire content copied from the Titanic Encyclopedia site: :   : The Legendary Ranger (talk) 22:59, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication of notability in article. Period. EEng (talk) 23:37, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd make the same recommendation for the other two articles mentioned above, but I think there's somthing mal-formed in setting up the disucssions -- is this a combined discussion for all three? EEng (talk) 23:46, 1 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge & Redirect- Redirect all three to Passengers of the RMS Titanic; merge Bertram to his sister's article, redirect as above if possible, if not, to his sister's article. Dru of Id (talk) 01:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete all three There is some mention of him in some sources, but this is really covered by WP:ONEEVENT. Not notable. In fact, probably Speedy delete Bertram Dean as a copyright infringement of http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-survivor/bertram-vere-dean.html. Encyclopedia Titanica's terms of use say "You may not copy, reproduce, republish, download, post, broadcast, transmit or otherwise use Encyclopedia Titanica content in any way except for your own personal, non-commercial use. You also agree not to adapt, alter or create a derivative work from any Encyclopedia Titanica content except for your own personal, non-commercial use. Any other use of Encyclopedia Titanica content requires the editor's prior written permission." I'm not sure whether the other two articles are copyvios. Elton Bunny (talk) 14:22, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've removed the purloined text -- no point in rephrasing since I'm pretty sure we're headed to delete anyway. EEng (talk) 21:31, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
