The subject of this article does not appear to meet the requirements of WP:GNG. The citations provided include one that covers the 1912 golf open and another that is an obituary (routine coverage). The article needs evidence of multiple reliable independent non-trivial sources to be retained. KDS4444^Talk 06:44, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am just getting started with this article. Much more can be said about Dowling. He was a PGA Tour golfer and finished 7th in the U.S. Open and as such his inclusion on Wikipedia is acceptable under the terms of Wikiproject: Golf. Consult with master golf editor Tewapack and he will confirm that I am correct. The editor Nigej can also confirm that this article is allowed. Oftentimes I start stub articles like this and then over time they grow exponentially. In good time, as I have the spare time to work on it, this will end up being a fantastic article, trust me. Thanks so much for your kind and careful consideration in this matter.--♥Golf (talk) 07:01, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 100% clear from WP:NGOLF that he is notable: "5. They have made the cut in one of the major tournaments: Men: Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, The Open Championship, PGA Championship" Top 10 finish in one of them makes him even more notable. Nigej (talk) 08:29, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as I concur 100% with Nigej's analysis. --♥Golf (talk) 13:54, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets WP:NGOLF, so too early to delete on GNG grounds. Tewapack (talk) 17:20, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
