Article has only one source, and a quick web search throws up nothing else. The article appears copied more or less straight from the single source. The subject's political activities are not notable. His business activities may be if there were sources available, which there appear not to be.

Keep I have added several further references. I think he passes WP:GNG. Sources show that he was involved with some formative political activities in Wales and that he also set up a charity and an educational institution. Given that he died in 1970, there may be more coverage in print than can easily be found during a quick web search. Drchriswilliams (talk) 22:53, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The main source is from the Dictionary of Welsh Biography. The dictionary is for "Welsh people who have made a significant contribution to national life, whether in Wales or more widely." It should be noted that the subject had sufficient notability to merit a place. That alone ought to satisfy notability on wikipedia. With regard to the other on-line sources, I think it can be more helpful for editors to do more than a "quick web search" before proposing an AfD. Graemp (talk) 08:07, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep His political activities do make him notable, as this was during the formative years of Welsh nationalism and his failure to be elected was par for the course. Any person who is named in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography are notable, we have just lost context in our modern age. FruitMonkey (talk) 19:23, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep AFD has provoked sufficient sourcing, although NOM ought to have looked more carefully before bringing this to AFD as per WP:BEFORE. Old-time nationalists tend to have sourcing, as a quick search of books [1] shows that this one has.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:44, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
