Article fails WP:BIO. The only mention of the individual in question within secondary sources seems to be regarding a relatively insignificant tavern/local hotel. All other information in the article is based on primary sources and of very little notability. 59abcd (talk) 11:32, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is perilously close to WP:A7 - there is no real claim to significance. GoldenRing (talk) 11:41, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Frankly seems like a case of WP:NOTGENEALOGY. A WP:BEFORE search returns only the same trivial/passing mentions we find supporting the text. Including the "weak" WP:ANCESTRY link. The text otherwise makes no claims to notability (being born, having a family, opening a tavern and selling that tavern are not notable activities). The only claim to notability (in the body and in the refs) seem to be the subject's association with a historical building. If the building is notable, it can/should have an article. Otherwise notability doesn't "transfer" to the building's former owners.... Guliolopez (talk) 21:19, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article on the building also on WP however similar level of notability - being AfD'd here. 59abcd (talk) 13:43, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
