The sourcing here is clearly inadequate. I did a deep sourcer search. I was able to find a brief mention of his sourcing the earliest actions of the Associated Press in archival outlook, but I would not coniser that substantive. I also was able to find basically a church bulletin mentioning him becoming education director for the Episcopalian Diocese of Delaware. I also came across a mention of him in a geneology book that listed all the descandants of someone much earlier no matter how prominent or not promient they were. The claim of his uniquely deep understanding of Jung's work does not amount to notability and is seeminly sourced to a work by Beach himself. I just do not see any actual claim to notability here.

Delete. The main claim for notability is correcting an error in AP's founding date in 2005 (from 1848 to 1846). Beach was related to one of the founder of AP. This led AP to publish a short obit on Beach's death mentioning the relationship and error. I don't think the previous dating error of AP's founding deserves a mention on the Associated Press page. At most this would be a clarifying footnote there.--Eostrix (^{🦉 hoot} _hoot🦉) 14:50, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: An article which appears to be more appropriate to a family history site. That the subject retrieved an 1872 memo written by one Moses Sperry Beach describing the role of Moses Yale Beach in establishing AP does not confer biographical notability (WP:NOTINHERITED). Nor do the subject's roles in a Center for Jungian Studies and at Lithgow, New York#St. Peter's Episcopal church credibly indicate attained notability. AllyD (talk) 12:20, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The material in the article boils down to: he had some notable ancestors and found a small correction to a historic date among his family's papers. That's not cause for notability. The obituary also mentions founding a center for Jungian studies but it seems not to be notable (or even to exist any more). There's more detail in another obituary but that one appears to be the written-by-the-family type of obituary and still lists nothing that suggests notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:26, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
