Reuben Haines III

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm torn bringing this to AfD, but alas I must. The subject has claims of notability, however after searching through references, the most I can find are information referring Haines to Wyck House, which has more of the notability. The best I found was that he had the first hot-air central heating system installed at Wyck House.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I just don't see enough notability on his own for verification. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:58, 15 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - I'm not sure why the original deletion had to be taken down just for the article to be nominated again. There is no notability whatsoever. Also various CN tags which stretch further notability by association claims were since taken down which makes the article look more legit than it is. JesseRafe (talk) 16:16, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Unable to determine notability. The Haines family is mentioned in a historical perspective pertaining to the Wyck House in Philadelphia:
 * ,
 * ,
 * ,
 * . However, I am unable to discern this family's importance - and in particular I am unable to discern the importance of this particular individual. The creator of this article will have to do the leg work - and I have provided some sources for exploration - but I am unable to determine notability of Reuben Haines III. I also reccomend trying some relevant JSTOR searches Steve Quinn (talk) 17:02, 15 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I seemed to hit the same roadblock you did as well. I sort of took this article on as a "pet project" to improve it, but everything seemed to mention Haines in passing. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:03, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - passing mentions that he lived in a now-notable historic house and associated with notable people do not make him notable, although perhaps the family was. Jonathunder (talk) 23:13, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not meet WP:ANYBIO, sources found just have trivial mentions, subject is already covered at Wyck House. Coolabahapple (talk) 16:14, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
