James Dougherty (police officer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

James Dougherty was only notable for having been briefly married to Marilyn Monroe before she became famous. He gave several interviews to tabloids and wrote two books about the marriage, but these weren't bestsellers to my knowledge and are thought highly unreliable by MM's biographers. In addition, the article uses unreliable sources/original research and goes into far too much detail about a non-notable person. TrueHeartSusie3 (talk) 15:22, 23 October 2015 (UTC)TrueHeartSusie3
 * Delete Agree he's not notable. The problem is that there are reliable sources like in which you could claim it. I do think here you have to take into account tabloid fodder for somebody like Monroe and why the press might want to write about him.♦  Dr. Blofeld  09:46, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable enough for a separate article; his "15 minutes of fame" is covered in the main GA rated Monroe article with RS cites. Kierzek (talk) 12:11, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep he made the New York Times as a standalone obituary. - TX6785 (talk) 20:13, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
