Henry L. P. Beckwith Jr.

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A complete vanity project with unverifiable relations, trustee assignments, and lists of genealogical clubs. This falls far below GNG. Kbabej (talk) 04:44, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - nothing approaching notability, particularly for a BLP. There's no substantial coverage in reliable sources. I also see a potential COI - a user named Henry L. P. Beckwith has done a good deal of editing. In any event, this definitely fails the GNG and WP:NBIO. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have no objection to a redirect per Cunard, assuming that article survives AFD. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 17:11, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: There is nothing salvageable here. I tried to find sources, but I could not find anything useful. It should also be noted that Henry L. P. Beckwith Jr. has written thirty-two percent of this article. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 21:44, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Lovecraft's Providence and Adjacent Parts, the book the subject wrote, per Deletion policy. Lovecraft's Providence and Adjacent Parts was nominated for deletion at Articles for deletion/Lovecraft's Providence and Adjacent Parts, where I have supported retention.

 * Delete nothing even close to indicating that Beckwith is a notable writer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:07, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. As pointed out above, this page seems largely written by the subject (who should know what sources exist). Based on a reasonable online search, I find nothing substantial with which to support a keep assertion. BusterD (talk) 18:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, can't find any good sources to indicate him being a notable writer.
 * Delete It's possible that the book may be notable, but Beckwith himself is not. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:20, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GNG. I don't understand how he's notable. Bearian (talk) 20:15, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
