Merge I have proposed this page for deletion, so that it may be merged into American Reporter. The article may or may not meet criteria for notability, but it does not meet the standard of WP:V. It is clear that this person has contributed to society and we should preserve their legacy via Wikipedia, but two poorly-sourced pages related to their work does not uphold our standards of Wikipedia. I therefore propose a merge, keeping the best of both pages intact. PickleG13 (talk) 21:49, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This nomination was made in late April, but was improperly formatted, and doesn't seem to have been in the daily logpage. I will now attempt to fix and relist. jp×g 03:41, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; just from the lead there are numerous things that seem to clearly indicate notability, and a very large set of references can be found in the article. The fact that most of it's written without inline citations is suboptimal, but AfD is not cleanup, and anyone who wishes to format the page with inlines from the large quantity of refs is able to do so. jp×g 04:23, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, articles can be improved but seems to need more cleanup than is non-notable. Andrevan@ 00:23, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
