H.J. Jones

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Minimally sourced biography of the mayor of a village which is not large enough to confer notability on its mayors under WP:NPOL. Was prodded in 2009, but the creator deprodded with the rationale that they planned further research — but seven years later, the article is still based solely on the one source that was already present in 2009: a local history book published by the local historical society in which Jones is just namechecked rather than being the book's subject, and which is being cited only to support his prior career as a buyer for the local grain milling company rather than anything he did as mayor. So WP:GNG has not been met here either. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 20:12, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN criteria. Further, Wikipedia is not a genealogy database.--Rpclod (talk) 20:56, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
