Delete locally notable, nothing we should keep in wiki. I can't find mentions of him, 80 years after his death, likely showing non-notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:49, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the building named after him is briefly mentioned here [1], still nothing for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:51, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If this article winds up being kept, it should be moved to Antoine Graves in lieu of the disambiguation page which is there now. The only similarly titled article is about a building named after this person. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:14, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not meet notability based on lack of citations.Hkkingg (talk) 06:12, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I cannot judge, but was he a significant figure in the struggle against segregation in the US? If so, it might make him notable. I cannot judge. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:07, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect after move (per Metropolitan90) to Oakland Cemetery (Atlanta), possibly lightly merge to that article. The coverage of him appears to mostly be connected pretty tightly to having the sole mausoleum in the black section of this cemetery. I'm not seeing enough for a full article, but redirects are cheap, and it appears that many books on the cemetery mention him. The Black Calhouns by Gail Lumet Buckley might possibly have deeper coverage, but I'm unable to view the book to determine. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:08, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Draftify Graves appears to have been an important figure in Atlanta's Black community during the Jim Crow Era. There is some coverage in this book, Here is more. Here is his obituary. Here is discussed in a contemporary newspaper. --User:Namiba 19:28, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None of those are enough to establish notability. GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 00:14, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There seems to be a little coverage of his race-related activities (1), and more on his mausoleum (2, 3). 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 09:42, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There seems to be enough in books and other sources about this person who lived his entire life pre-Internet. Bearian (talk) 17:18, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
