Several of his relatives are notable, but I don't think this fellow is. There's a bunch of passing mentions to him owning a painting by George Caleb Bingham, but none of them that I've seen rise to significant coverage. https://www.google.com/books/edition/B%C4%93ta_Th%C4%93ta_P%C4%AB/1tbx9mDsrAoC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22george+bingham+rollins%22&pg=PA398&printsec=frontcover We've got this short obit here published by an organization he was part of], but not much more. His death via falling into a well gained a bit of coverage at the time because his family was so prominent, but WP:NOTINHERITED applies and I don't think he meets WP:GNG on his own.

  • Delete He fails to meet WP:GNG. I am aware the following carries no weight but… I am knowledgeable about sources on the Rollins family and don’t know of any that cover him in depth. He is admittedly locally important, but did not rise to the prominence necessary to garner significant coverage as defined by Wikipedia imo. If a full biography is ever published, we can consider recreation then. Grey Wanderer (talk) 14:47, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
