Subject is a fraternity founder who died at age 25 in 1859. Subject does not fall under any of the WP:NBIO's "Additional criteria", and is thus governed solely by WP:NBASIC which is functionally equivalent to WP:GNG - which the sourcing isn't even close to reaching. The identified sourcing is limited to passing mentions (refs #1, #3 and #4 as of the time of AfD start) as well as a dead link to the generally unreliable Ancestry.com website (ref #2 as of the time of AfD start). I'm unable to identify further coverage that would contribute towards meeting the GNG. Ljleppan (talk) 05:23, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
