The notability of this businessperson has been questioned at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_January_23#Robert_H._Tucker.2C_Jr I think it's pretty marginal, but throwing it up for discussion. Legacypac (talk) 18:58, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? If the questions are "Is this notable?" and "Should it be deleted?", AfD is absolutely the forum. --BDD (talk) 15:37, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as nom for he is a standard run of the mill small business person not notable enough for an article. His business has not been deemed notable enough for an article. Being the ex-husband of a slightly notable actress does not rub notability off on him. Legacypac (talk) 01:20, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the article seems to be built from the four books listed in the bibliography section. But when I searched those books, Tucker's name only comes up, at most, four or five times in each of them, which I would characterize as a trivial mention. The only other mention I turned up online is the Times-Picayune article, which isn't about him, but is about Tucker's daughter. Tucker himself only merits a mention early on. I don't think there is anything in here to suggest any particular notability - he seems to have been a mildly successful businessman who was involved in the community - nor is there enough reliable sources to create a page.
