This person does not exist. The only source given in the article does not mention him. It also fails the Google test. bender235 (talk) 19:35, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please explain your conclusion that he doesn't exist? I could understand a challenge to notability, but Google searches produce multiple sources that appear to verify all or some of the facts asserted in this article, namely that Rennie Davis' father was named John C. Davis and was a labor economist who served with the Council of Economic Advisors in the Truman administration. E.g. [1][2][3][4][5][6] --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:28, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, that surprises me. I asked the creator of the article, User:Cirt, whether he had any sources for the name "John C. Davis", because I suspected a misidentification with Joseph S. Davis, member of the CEA in 1955–58 [7]. I guess I was wrong, because this seems to prove a "John C. Davis" also served on the CEA. We might fold this AfD then. --bender235 (talk) 08:23, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
