While this biography is amply referenced, it looks as if none of the source are at the same time indepth and reliable. The source with the most content is probably Honorstates, which is basically a wiki. The oral history source is a primary source, and has little about the pilot anyway. The third important source is the Stardust studios, again not a reliable source. Fram (talk) 15:41, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete fails WP:BASIC as most of the sources are not reliable or independent. "notable for being one of the first forty-three African American combat fighter pilots ever" please... I note with concern that the creator has also created pages for a number of other Tuskegee Airmen who similarly seem to fail notability. Mztourist (talk) 12:39, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, these others are a rather mixed bunch as well. Some are notable for other reasons (e.g. Archie Harris (athlete) or Joe Adams (actor)), and the first group of 6 graduates may be more notable for being the first: but many of the others seem to have the same issues as this one. But it seemed safest to start with a single nomination and take it from there. Fram (talk) 13:39, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:GNG.Sources used in the areticle leave much to be desired, but sources do exist. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 10:40, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Which of these sources are WP:RS that give significant attention to the subject? Fram (talk) 10:45, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      [1][2] You haven't presented anything to back up your claim that sources supplied are unreliable. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:09, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • And the second source[4] are passing mentions, and the book is self-published. So no, no reliable sources, and certainly none with significant attention for this person. Fram (talk) 07:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
