George Voorhis

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The one source is not clealry relaible, but even if it was one source is not enough to show notability. It also is much more about others than Voorhis. Voorhis was a clown involved in the activities of a fast food company in part of the US, it seems there were other clowns working with the same fast food company in other parts of the US at the time. Considering the size and cultural impact of the company in question, if Voorhis was really a defining force behind their top recognized clown and his rise to fame and cultural impact, we should be able to find more sources on him. However, I looked though all the links to sources on the article {news, newspapers, scholar etc] and it turned up several mentions of other George Voorhis in totally different times and contexts, but not one additional source that actually discusses this George Voorhis.

 * Redirect to Ronald McDonald. I agree that (somewhat surprisingly) there's no significant coverage of Voorhis: I found a few mentions, but it's all too trivial to contribute to notability. Redirecting seems a reasonable alternative to deletion since he's mentioned in the target article and redirects are cheap. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:21, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - in only reference Voorhis is just mentioned. Searching for other references did not give much results that would satisfy notability criteria. Seeing Voorhis listed in Ronald McDonals seems enough to me.-- Melaleuca alternifolia  |  talk  06:11, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ronald McDonald. His principal claim to fame is his portrayal of Ronald McDonald. He claims to have created the character, but sourcing on that is hard to come by. He is discussed in the main article on Ronald McDonald, and a redirect seems to be the best solution. Cbl62 (talk) 14:52, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
