A seaman who died following a shipwreck and was mentioned in a book. Sad, but not particularly notable. Many thousands of seamen have died in a similar manner. Prod notice deleted without explanation except the misleading edit summary "tidy". -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:54, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I wasn't aware Wikipedia was a competition. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Note There's now an article on the Dundonald (ship), the shipwreck in question and he's mentioned in there. Nick mallory (talk) 11:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Still doesn't justify an article on individual crew members. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:35, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * My point is that this could be deleted because the information is now in another article which is obviously notable. Sorry if I didn't spell that out in simpler terms. Nick mallory (talk) 12:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * As Notability says, if a subject is not covered in depth in the sources, but only as part of a larger subject, it should be merged into the article about the larger subject. No deletion is required.  See User:Uncle G/On notability.  Article merger does not involve deletion, or administrator tools, at any stage.  Even an editor without an account can do it.

 * Delete. Fails WP:N as the seaman was not remembered for anything too notable, apart from dying. Littleteddy (talk) 12:34, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Also fails WP:BLP1E. Littleteddy (talk) 12:35, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete nn a personal diary reference is not exactly "substantive coverage in reliable sources" that from WP:NOTE.  Sting_au   Talk  13:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, topic covered better in ship's article, so redundant. Not a highly plausible search term. --Dhartung | Talk 21:51, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. Maralia (talk) 05:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
