Oscar Arthur Moritz Lindauer

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unclear why he is supposed to be notable, fails WP:BIO. He had some tobacco stores, but the company itself isn't notable, and there is no other reason of notability. Ond of his sons has an article, but I'll nominate that one for deletion as well as a WP:BIO1E. Searching for his short name Oscar Lindauer or his long name (article title) doesn't give any Google Books or News Archive results, and none of the regular Google results indicate any notability either. The New York Herald article of 1866 is not a real obituary, but a funeral notice only. Fram (talk) 12:50, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nominator has it right. I looked and could find no trace of notability. WP is not meant for personal genealogical entries. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 11:46, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I see no sign that he was notable at the time either. A useful cross-check is to ask whether he would be likely to be notable today; the answer has to be no because businesspeople rarely make it unless they rise to be CEO of a large corporation, or make a particular mark as innovators or entrepreneurs, and often not even then. It is not enough to be a worthy citizen or even ancestor. --AJHingston (talk) 11:59, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
