There isn't the slightest indication of notability, or why he would be considered notable. Some small coverage in niche publications is not enough. Boleyn (talk) 11:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete nothing in the article show that he was notable, there may be an indication that the memorial may have been of note but it has zero references. MilborneOne (talk) 13:26, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the reliable source coverage. Meets WP:GNG. The cipher on the headstone was presented as a mystery in books and newspaper articles right into the latter part of the 20th century. The subject gets coverage and yet was born over two centuries ago. We keep subjects like this. Wm335td (talk) 19:47, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I would argue that the memorial could be considered notable, but certainly not the man, and the article is on him. Boleyn (talk) 07:42, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Move and reword to Thomas Brierly Grave Cipher &#91;Username Needed&#93; 12:21, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * At most Weak keep (perhaps renamed)-- The individual in question is completely NN. The only question is whether his grave stone with its masonic cipher is notable; amd about that I do not know.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:13, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
