fails WP:BIO, no google hits found that support notability - prod removed NeilN 19:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

NeilN - can you give me a chance to improve on wiki? When you AfD this article minutes after I submit a first iteration does not give me chance to comply. Please let me know if you have any specific objections to the article. I do have referencable material, however it may take a while to get this together. Thanks, Bpomykala 19:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment: First, "minutes" is an exaggeration. Second, I originally prodded the article which would have given you five days to improve it. However you removed the prod tag without explaining why therefore the article was listed on AfD. AfD discussions also typically last five days. If you can provide sources within this time that show the subject meets WP:BIO then I will certainly withdraw the nomination. --NeilN 19:34, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Googled and nothing there. Not notable.Operating 19:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Given that the subject died in 1967, Google may not be the most appropriate means for establishing notability. --Malcolmxl5 19:56, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. True, the article's main author should find print references during the Afd discussion to establish notability.Operating 20:10, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I searched Google Books, which have sources from the subject's lifetime and came up short. I'm having a hard time seeing the notability here. He built a non-notable church and part of a notable one? Outside that, the article is a litany of unencyclopedic "X lived here, then he moved over there" statements. I'm willing to give the author the full time alloted on this AfD, but, right now, I'm leaning towards delete.--Sethacus 20:25, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Voting to delete In 5 days, the only change made to the article has been a slide show, purportedly of houses the subject built. Unfortunately, that's not enough to satisfy.--Sethacus 15:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
