E.B. Allen

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Of the sources provided in the article only one is potentially reliable. It consists of an interview with the subject conducted by his granddaughter. Not having found any sources that would establish notability, I would say this is a WP:GNG fail. Now, does his appearance in Harlan County, USA make him notable? WP:NACTOR calls for roles in multiple notable films. Since he has not appeared in more than one film, he is not notable by that standard either. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:23, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - not even mentioned at our Harlan County article. Two sources are for routine military service and one article does not even name him (though I do thank him for his service). Other sources are IMDB and a reproduction of his poem on an unreliable outdated website. There was a schooner named E.B. Allen but it's not named after him. Ultimately, none of the listed sources come close to being in-depth coverage in reliable sources and I can't find anything to support his notabilty. Not remotely close to passing GNG. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia  talk  21:30, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: I am unable to find secondary sources, or coverage beyond demonstration of existence. — Bilorv ( talk ) 01:47, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete falls well short of WP:GNG and I don't believe he was a big enough part of the documentary to meet any inclusive notability standard. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:29, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
