Joseph Hinton

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced biography of a person notable only as the namesake of a city neighbourhood. This is not an "inherent" notability freebie, however: it can get a person into Wikipedia if they can be shown to clear WP:GNG, but is not an instant free pass that exempts him from having to have any sources just because he existed. I would ordinarily just have redirected this to the neighbourhood and walked away, but there's another person getting bumped down to disambiguated status even though he has a stronger claim to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC -- so in actual fact, this needs to be deleted so that Joseph Hinton (composer) can be moved to the plain title.

 * Delete per WP:MILL - he was basically a neighborhood activist. Albany, New York named a local park for a similar person, but she does not rate an article, either. Bearian (talk) 16:39, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
