The result was delete. I'm not persuaded by the argument that any single source is sufficient to meet the GNG, particularly a short death notice. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 01:37, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

The only coverage I could find was the brief New York Times obit cited in the article, which isn't enough to establish GNG. Eddie891 Talk Work 16:42, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep obit in New York Times arguably satisfies GNG. Weak Delete per Eddie891 below, short obit in NYT does not satisfy GNG and so unless other RS are provided SIGCOV isn't met. Mztourist (talk) 03:46, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Bearing in mind that he died over a century ago (in 1914), a New York Times obituary alone should be enough to meet GNG. Edwardx (talk) 12:45, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * and : That's not the case and goes directly against consensus. See the relevant discussion, specifically many years ago [...] the NYT published short death notices; the consensus here suggests these shorter pieces are not an assertion of notability. I don't see how this can be considered anything other than a short death notice. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:05, 31 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep As per above explained by Edwardx. Cuoxo (talk) 15:57, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete There are no claims in the article that imply the subject is notable; he was born, he had a job, he was in the service, he had children, he died. The hurdle is WP:BASIC Neither the article nor my search show sufficient reference to get over the hurdle. Jeepday (talk) 18:38, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
