Peter Humrickhouse

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

According to a book written by a descendent (full text here), he fought in the American Revolutionary War and rose to captain, but nothing I've read about his exploits there justifies the unsourced "hero" claim in the article. There are no other claims to notability, and I couldn't find anything else about him. Wikipedia is not a memorial. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:52, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete The subject does not meet notability guidelines. I found this source, written by Wayne C. Johnson who I think is the creator of the Peter Humrickhouse article, but it makes no great claims that he was notabile - he was merely present when historic events took place.

 * Delete - subject seems to lack "significant coverage" in reliable sources so is most likely not notable per WP:GNG. Anotherclown (talk) 10:11, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
