James Thomas (Swansea)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Plainly non-notable municipal level politician. A WP:BEFORE search did not return any sources, let alone a source providing WP:SIGCOV. PROD was contested by an IP on the bogus rationale, as if that means anything. Curbon7 (talk) 17:49, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Probably delete -- as a local politician/official he is inherently NN, unless he did something that was notable. At this period, such people were not paid, so that he must have had some other means of support.  It is possible that he did something that would make him notable, but at present the article does not say so.  Until it does, he must be regarded as NN.

 * Delete Given his dates (18th c) he would have to be VERY famous for info about him to be found in our standard sources. I wish we knew where the creator got their info - clearly there was something somewhere. Lamona (talk) 01:13, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Likely either a plaque (such as the one's on this website for this particular church) or the local sexton's logbook, as the article does note that. Even then, an entry in a logbook that likely has thousands of other entries is certainly not demonstrative. Curbon7 (talk) 03:04, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
