Charles Frederick Lindauer

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:BIO. In the main source for his claim to notability, the NYTimes article, he is barely mentioned: "Lindauer, who was a small-fry backer, had a portion of the lower east side." There are no reliable, independent sources who give any significant, indepth information about Lindauer and why he would be notable. Article is mostly based on primary sources. The Brooklyn Eagle source is not about him. His obituary from a local newspaper, quoted at the end of the article, gives a good idea of how notable he was... The article on his father, Oscar Arthur Moritz Lindauer, is also nominated for deletion by me, but since their claims to notability are independent, the debates should be separate as well.

 * Delete. I agree that the standard of significant coverage in independent sources has not been met here, therefore notability not established. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 13:30, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Based on the above rationale and that the text of the article is a largely rambling biography that fails to assert to notability of the subject. Pol430  talk to me 22:31, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
