 * Delete. Between BIO and ANYBIO and GNG, not a single one of those is automatically passed just because a person can show the existence of a single obituary in their local media — but the only other references present here at all are tangential verification of the deaths of his wife, son and law partner, not notability-supporting media coverage about him.

 * Delete We don't need articles about every district judge in the US; an obit and local coverage doesn't address WP:BIO. OhNo itsJamie Talk 20:06, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
