Silvanus Bevan (1661–1725)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Not seeing anything that satisfies WP:BIO. The main source claims the family is notable, but that doesn't help this person.

I am also nominating the following related page for the same reason:

 * Weak Keep or Redirect to Allen & Hanburys found a journal article (accessible on Wikipedia Library) dedicated to the coverage of Silvanus Bevan (Morris, John S. “Silvanus Bevan the ‘Quaker FRS’ (1691-1765) Apothecary with a Note on His Contribution to the Founding of the Pharmaceutical Company Allen and Hanbury.” Journal of Medical Biography, vol. 19, no. 1, Feb. 2011, pp. 2–4. EBSCOhost, https://doi.org/10.1258/jmb.2010.010021.) Apparently the book "Through A City Archway: The Story Of Allen And Hanburys, 1715-1954" by Desmond Chapman-Huston and Ernest C. Cripps also covers the full history of the Allen and Hanbury company, and to a certain degree covers Silvanus Bevan, but I don't have any access to it, so I don't know to what degree Silvanus Bevan is covered. There's also many mentions of him in JSTOR, although I haven't analyzed every single article where his name is mentioned, so I don't know how notable the coverage is. It seems like he was the founder of the company Allen & Hanburys, so perhaps he could be redirected there if the coverage about Silvanus Bevan is not deemed notable or in-depth enough.Jaguarnik (talk) 23:27, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete I made an error, the apothecary Silvanus Bevan is not the one nominated for deletion, rather his father, also Silvanus was. My mistake. There is no coverage I found of his father. I think delete is an okay option.Jaguarnik (talk) 23:34, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge and delete is very rarely done, so I'm guessing this is meant to be a merge !vote (which implies that the original pages will be blanked and redirected). &mdash;siro&chi;o 23:04, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
