Notability not established for this person. Article is sourced only by primary sources related to the fraternity and being one of ten original members of a fraternity is not something notability would be inherited from. Reywas92Talk 23:56, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - Found two independent references and added them, and worked on the article to improve it. The subject is notable based on coverage in periodicals, books and magazines, as well as the subject's notable role as a founder of the fraternity - no small task considering the era, and placement of a monument at the subject's grave to memorialize and recognize Edmonds' role in founding the national fraternity, all of which add to the article's notability. Passes WP:Bio and meets WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 09:42, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Both this and this article you added merely lists his name with the other nine founders as a brief recognition of the fraternity's anniversary. By no means do these contribute to his individual notability as "significant coverage" in GNG. The third source you added doesn't have a link but I presume is the same, and is like the others also not independent of the fraternity itself. Nor do they discuss his particular contributions to the founding as separate from the gourp of ten together. Man, if we had articles for everyone with a monument at their grave...

 * Delete - Not notable because he's known only as one of the founders of a fraternity. Better off to merge the biographies of these individuals as part of the fraternity's article(s). Acnetj (talk) 21:44, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - As above - only noted as a founder of the faculty, and no independant references for him. Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:20, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
