Person does not appear to be notable, nor do I believe most of this material is verifiable. Article is completely unsourced, and has been since October 2007. Cursory google searching results for 'Eugene Collins Pulliam' are articles about his son and genealogy data. PeterTheFourth (talk) 23:08, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes WP:ANYBIO Article could use sourcing.  Here's some: Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame, Co-founder of DePauw University journalism honorary Sigma Delta Chi During...63 years, he owned or operated 46 newspapers. At the time of his death, Pulliam was publisher of the Arizona Republic and Phoenix Gazette and owned the Indianapolis Star and News, among other papers. Fellowship named in his honor, Washington Post obit, His role in the 1936 Presidential campaign, Review of a book on him, WorldCat listings of all editions of his biography.  There's a lot of coverage on him. He was pretty important in the publishing business. — Maile  (talk) 23:57, 16 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. My experience matches that reported by Maile66.  I had no trouble finding sources, including even a tertiary source, which you almost never get.  Msnicki (talk) 01:18, 17 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep/ I've added references to articles at the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame website and in the Encyclopedia of American Journalism which should be enough to establish his notability. Indyguy (talk) 02:21, 17 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep passes WP:GNG. Maybe a little "over-texted" (or "under-sourced") but those are editing issues, not deletion issues.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:24, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
