No claim to notability, sources are unreliable, non-independent obituaries written by family and friends. Reywas92^Talk 20:51, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NPOL, all but one of the sources are obituaries or memorial statements of some sort. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:15, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am not sure I have ever seen an article on someone more clearly non-notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:15, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately a now-blocked user decided to make over 2,000 articles on barely-notable people based very heavily on obituaries and other passing mentions. Now a lot of these were unremarkable state legislators or actors who can get past the guidelines but I've nominated a handful so far...he was rather prolific at writing out every little bit of these people's resumes (with a mini-WP:REFBOMB) to seem notable at first glance. WilliamJE has been doing well going after some of these too. Reywas92^Talk 06:25, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- There's even more of them if you count the articles he created using sockpuppets. I've moved to going through categories (People by town in Louisiana, Businesspeople from LA, etc.) and nominating the obvious ones (there are more that probably do but currently speaking I think its best we get rid of the clear deletes) to try and root those out as well. Hathorn will also try to mess up AfD votes with IP votes still from time to time. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:19, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
