Gets some coverage in local news, but unclear if it's enough to meet the criteria for notability of people. Ajpolino (talk) 02:02, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment - In particular he is profiled in this book which seems to be an assembly of local heros of the neighborhood (not sure if this is elevated above the status of a local news source just because it has been published as a book). He has similar small profiles and passing mentions in some other books. Unclear to me if this all counts as "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources..." I think this is a borderline case and would be interested to hear the opinions of others. Ajpolino (talk) 02:07, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment many of his incidental mentions add a biographical tidbit or two. E.g.,, , and .-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:56, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

 * delete He's active in his community, but I couldn't find any notability criteria for community activists. I couldn't find the significant independent coverage of him that shows me he meets WP:GNG. I find passing mentions and his name on some lists but that's not enough.  It seems like there might be coverage out there, but my search didn't find it.Sandals1 (talk) 15:38, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
