John Belk: North Carolina Textile Worker

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication of notability. Belk was interviewed for the Federal Writers Project; there are no sources about him except the interview itself. The article's other sources don't actually mention Belk and are used to support original synthesis. The article is apparently part of some sort of class project; see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation Huon (talk) 01:59, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, along with any others of the same ilk. The article doesn't even claim notability, let alone show it.  David_FLXD  (Talk) 04:42, 23 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete being interviewed by the Federal Writers Project doesn't confer notability - they interviewed thousands of people. This guy is just a textile worker and doesn't appear to have any other significance. Much of the article does appear to be synthesis. Hut 8.5 17:15, 23 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Consider merging some of the content on the Federal Writers Project to that article, then delete this as completely non-notable. --Michig (talk) 06:59, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
