WP is not a memorial, and this is not a notable subject. Their achievements played out on a very local and not on an encyclopedic level. Furthermore, there are no reliable, third-party sources that attest to notability, as a Google search (such as this one) confirms. Drmies (talk) 04:47, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm thinking of formulating a new rule that if the only reference you can find for a person's date of death is the web page of the funeral home where their visitation was held, then the person probably isn't notable enough to be in an encyclopedia (the deaths of notable people are actually reported as news, after all.) Other than that, let's see what else we have for sources: the annual report of the local John Howard Society, the newsletter of the school board he worked for, and an e-mail post to a genealogy discussion list. Yep, notability lacking. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:30, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
