Red Shoes (Choctaw chief)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

DELETE. The article on Red Shoes, the Choctaw chief of the 1740's, is so full of unsubstantiated opinions that it reads like a junior high school essay. The article is poorly sourced, and has very few actual facts surrounding the subject. Considering that no one has added to its text in six years it seems fair to say few, if any, would miss this article.Catherinejarvis (talk) 20:20, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Article needs some cleanup but Red Shoes is definitely notable. See Encyclopedia of Alabama ("Renowned Choctaw war leader Red Shoes, who hailed from the western division, opened trade with British fur traders based in South Carolina in the 1740s and ignited the Choctaw Civil War when he killed some French traders."), American National Biography Online, or the South Carolina Gazette of January 4, 1739. - Station1 (talk) 06:38, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Per my BEFORE there are multiple high grade sources covering this individual. Deletion is not cleanup.Icewhiz (talk) 16:20, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs to focus more on sources, needs a better intro to show why he is actually notable, and a general rewrite, but Red Shoes is clearly notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. His notability is clearly established. And that's what AfD is here to determine. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:33, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
