Stix family

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The family is not notable and my WP:BEFORE has not revealed sources to support the claims in the article. Additionally sources in the article are not quality sources - one is a Jewish publication and the other two are passing mentions. The article does not meet WP:N Lightburst (talk) 12:58, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. There seems no reason to disregard what the nomination describes as a "Jewish publication"—especially a long-running newspaper such as the St. Louis Jewish Light—as a lower-than-average quality source. No opinion on notability in general as yet. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 13:59, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * AleatoryPonderings, My opinion of the publication as a news source was influenced by the very low circulation rather than the religious title of the source: In 2012, the circulation was approximately 10,000. Lightburst (talk) 14:07, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment - There are credible claims of notability here, such as "Rice and Stix was the largest manufacturer of clothing in the United States in the 1950s", but that claim needs a reliable and verifiable source. Even with that, I'm not sure that this should be an article about the Stix Family, considering how few details there are about any of the family members. Maybe this should be repurposed as an article for Rice-Stix / Rice and Stix or turned into a biography of Ernest W. Stix, Jr. or another family member. Alansohn (talk) 15:37, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete incridible claims, like being the largest manufacturer of clothing at one time in the US, need quality sourcing, which is lacking in this case.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete but not per nom, which is poorly phrased at best. This is supposed to be a notable family, but Wikipedia currently has an article about only one of the family members, and it's sourced mostly to an obituary of another family member. If Rice-Stix, Inc. was really the largest clothing manufacturer in the U.S. in the 1950s, a separate article should be created about the company (assuming there are reliable sources). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:59, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
