The result was Draftify. There is consensus that this is't appropriate for mainspace, but the creator wants to work on it. AGF that sources exist and this can be improved before resubmitting. I would caution against an immediate re-submission. Star  Mississippi  14:40, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

There don't seem to be any significant independent secondary sources about him. The 16 sources in the current article include primary sources (census and the like), sources which don't mention Higdon (like TSHA, the book on photographer Glass or the Kansas Historical Society. Looking for further sources provided no useful results either. Fram (talk) 14:05, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete: Photo cr permission shows that this is a genealogy article. Name shows up quite a bit in newspapers.com, but this appears to be mainly advertisements. No WP:SIGCOV appears to exist. Curbon7 (talk) 14:49, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Courtesy ping to, who accepted this at AfC. Curbon7 (talk) 18:13, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Curbon7 Thank you for the ping. I have a firm personal policy of steadfast neutrality at articles I accepted at AFC. I follow the guidance that a draft must, in my view, have a better than 50% chance of surviving an immediate deletion process. This is an immediate deletion process and I await the community's view. If kept, I will be pleased. If deleted, I will correct anything I feel needs to be corrected in my reviewing. Reviewers get better when their work is sent to AfD, which allows the community to decide as opposed to a single reviewer. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
