Fails WP:NOTABILITY. The only coverage I am able to find on this individual is the source mentioned in the article. This man seems to be only known in the area where he once lived. I also want to nominate these articles, as well:

All three articles have the same opening sentence, and cite the same, and only, source. Earle Bartibus Huxley (talk) 22:11, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and added the AfD tags for the other two articles. --MuZemike 16:32, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (this article and the other 2 included in the nom). The subject would appear to fail WP:NCRIMINAL and WP:SIGCOV. By some distance. In terms of the former (NCRIMINAL), even if the subject's crimes were confirmed (and not, as seems to be the case, loosely alleged and possibly apocryphal), any related article would cover those events/crimes. And the subject's role in them (alongside that of the subject's accomplices/"confederates"). If the subject was a contemporary thief/murderer, and his crimes were notable enough, we would have an article about the crimes. Not about the criminal(s). In terms of the latter (SIGCOV), I can find nothing at all about the subject or his crimes in the typical sources (not JSTOR, Scholar, Books or anywhere else). If the subject is covered anywhere it would seem to be in the single work/book which supports the text. And, even in that work, the subject is far from the main biographical topic. A passing mention in one book fails SIGCOV. By a country mile. Mine is a firm "delete" recommendation. Guliolopez (talk) 16:44, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this and the other 2 - fails WP:NCRIMINAL. Spleodrach (talk) 10:54, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
delete one source isn't enough for one article, let alone 3. Spartaz ^Humbug! 17:37, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
