WP:BLP of an activist, not properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for activists. The notability claim here is that he was involved in a group, but the potential notability of the group is not necessarily an instant notability freebie for every individual member of it -- in order to establish him as notable, there have to be reliable sources about him and his work. But there are none here, and the article was created by an editor whose username strongly suggests that they're a relative of the subject (which is a conflict of interest). As I don't have access to any database in which I could recover American newspaper coverage from the 1960s, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better resources can actually improve the sourcing, but nothing stated in the text is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have his notability established through media coverage.

 * Comment - undecided on whether these are enough to establish notability, but some clippings. There's honestly not much more that's significant.    Urve (talk) 19:42, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not convinced, even with Urve's due diligence. I could not even find a single mention of the subject worth noting on Jstor, etc. Missvain (talk) 22:46, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I did find two mentions of him on JSTOR, a misspelling of his name here and a blog about a Jim Sporleder who passed away in 2016 with content that matches the content on James Hugo Sporleder. However, the sources do not meet WP:GNG. Heartmusic678 (talk) 14:32, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
