Henry Fernandez

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Multiple reasons for the nomination: 1. Does not cite any sources (a direct violation of WP:BIO). Only sources I found by googling "Henry Fernandez" link to the televangelist of the same name.

2. Speedy deletion speedily declined. Was requested due to lack of context, but one person found sufficient context. However, the article still does not cite sources.

3. Reads more like a biography than a Wikipedia article. JTZegers (talk) 00:48, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Apparently he used his full name "Henry Dietrich Fernández" (who wouldn't with such common first and last names) and searching for his full name as an exact phrase finds some things. For instance he won the 1999 Essay Medal of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain . His work on the architecture of the human spine has been featured on NPR . Much of his biographical detail can be verified in the detailed posthumous "about the contributors" paragraph on him in the book Visual Cultures of Secrecy in Early Modern Europe . He was a "Kress Senior Research Fellow" in 2007, which I think means that some foundation gave him money to support a research trip rather than a prize in recognition of anything he had already done. And various of his essays are mentioned in reviews of the books they appeared in. So there's a fair amount we can verifiably say about him, and the lack of sources cited in the deletion nomination (twice, as if it were two separate reasons) can be fixed, but none of this rises to the level of convincing me that he passes any notability criterion. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:34, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
