 * Keep - Sources listed at Google news seem to me sufficient to establish notability. John Carter (talk) 19:17, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * And which sources would those be? Everard Proudfoot (talk) 21:45, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Those listed here, which seem to be sufficient to establish notability as per WP:BIO. John Carter (talk) 18:31, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You mean those sources which say that he exists? Everard Proudfoot (talk) 21:58, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I found a few articles at Google News but they are extremely local - the Florence, Alabama, "Times Daily" and the Newton, Mass, "Sun" were the best I could find. Doesn't add up to notability in my book. --MelanieN (talk) 01:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - Same as with MelanieN, no major coverage. Derild  49  21  ☼  00:08, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep shows notability per Notability_(people); As they are RS, I'm willing to accept local newspapers for this purpose in the absence of some special situation which requires an exception to the notability guideline for BLP reasons -- for instance, we should not bring local coverage of embarrassing events, minor violations of laws, etc, to an international audience.

 * Delete Notability isn't "got mentioned a few times in the local newspaper," or, God knows, every longtime resident of a small town with a newspaper would qualify. Notability is substantial coverage in secondary sources independent of the subject. We have casual mentions of his presence in 2 in local news sources, and 2 human interest feature articles in a local paper, and one article behind a paywall where his role I cannot discern. That is the sum total of our coverage. I cannot regard this level of coverage as sufficiently substantial for notability. Ray  Talk 04:47, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
