An orphan article. Given the period when he lived, it was difficult to find sources. Small mentions come up in google books and Australian database trove. But nothing indepth to meet WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 05:41, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I've read this a few times and I'm still not sure why he's notable. Got a vegetable cart, involved with a church and passed away. Seems too local to be kept, reads like a biography from a local museum somewhere. I don't see notability. Oaktree b (talk) 13:49, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Oaktee B that this article seems to be an orphan article, and most of the attention and reliable sources are from obituaries. The decision to delete or merge Wikipedia articles is usually made based on established deletion policies and guidelines, (WP: GNG), reliable sources (WP: RS), and verifiability. If the article does not meet these criteria, the only link will not directly lead to the described reason. The scarcity of reliable sources leads to unreliability.

I agree. I read the article. Didn't really see his popularity from the article. His contributions are also not documented in the article and the sources of information about him are not detailed.Rachel.zrq (talk) Rachel.zrq (talk) 04:24, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
