Obviously an admirable man, but I see no particular reason why he should have an article on Wikipedia. He wasn't the first African-American fireman in a major fire department or anything of that nature, which might qualify him for an article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:24, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Does not appear to comply with WP:BIO — available info would support a eulogy, but apparently not an encylopædia article. —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 16:38, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * DANGIT can't bring myself to say "delete" on this one because it's so well done. Give it time and let some sources come in?  Editing?  Assertion of notability?  Please, I want to say keep!--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:38, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment H'mm. As far as I'm aware, compliance with WP:N and WP:V will usually save an article from deletion. I'm not aware of any policy that lets us keep articles that don't comply with WP:N just because they're nicely written. Can you point me at that policy? —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 20:40, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Answer Nope. Which is why I'm a "DANGIT" its probably going to get deleted.  Maybe we could userfy to the primary article creator?--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:26, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, yeah, I guess it could be userified, but…to what end? He'll still be non-notable, which means userification would seem to run afoul of WP:NOTHOST. —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 00:05, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Personal feelings aside, he simply doesn't meet notability at this point. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:59, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
