Ketcham Travis House

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBUILD. Appears to be written by someone with a COI. Article written around the time the owner was trying to get it listed on the NRHP. Nothing in the article about the house is sourced, except for one Bloomington newspaper article. The rest of the sources are about background info on the original owner/builder John Ketcham (Indiana) and were probably copied from that article. Searching finds mostly WP mirrors.

 * Deleter per nom, article written by a single topic editor with the same surname as the owner, seemingly with the wrong intentions. There's no suggestion why the house could be notable, apart from the one 1985 newspaper article. Sionk (talk) 20:29, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I agree that this fails GNG and NBUILD Spiderone  18:44, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MILL. I'm a fan of old historic houses and this one is just not notable. In fact, in Monroe County, Indiana, there are "many early two-story brick houses," at least five of which are notable enough for mention, but not this one.
