Karl Dalhouse

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Secretary of one YMCA in Jamaica. Only source that perhaps covers the subject in-depth is a routine article reporting his death. Remaining references only mention him in passing. Hirolovesswords (talk) 21:00, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Article originator here. Subject has a still extant international swimming meet named after him. There are multiple sources: Entering "Karl Dalhouse" as a search term at http://gleaner.newspaperarchive.com/ yields over 300 results in Jamaica's main newspaper and 30+ in other, likely US papers. Google likewise yields multiple hits. Incidentally, the Kingston YMCA was at the time the only Y in the country. -Arb. (talk) 23:41, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Merely being mentioned in the news does not make a person notable. Most search results are for the swimming meet, not the person and do not provide any significant coverage. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 00:37, 19 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The subject lived in the time before the internet and has an extant, annual, international swimming meet named after him (not a common honour anywhere and unique in Jamaica to the best of my knowledge); not surprising that the majority of recent web commentary is about the meet. -Arb.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Comment Article originator again. Closing admin kindly be aware that OP previously AfD nominated another article I originated (as part of it's DYK process - Formula 1 (board game)). It was closed as Keep. Since than he or she has nominated this plus at least two articles I'd improved and deproded. While technically within his or her rights, it certainly feels like harassment. -Arb. (talk) 23:41, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Comment According to The Wikipedia Library/Journals/Requests, we should have access to The Gleaner's archive "in the next couple months". Suggest this AfD is closed as "no consensus" for now and revisited once the references become available. -Arb. (talk) 11:08, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
