Delete - I've been looking for sources for this gentleman for a while and I'm not finding anything that covers him in a capacity other than as plaintiff in the case Baker v. Wade. Fails WP:BIO1E. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 19:22, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per WP:ONEEVENT. Eddie.willers (talk) 19:28, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge it to the Baker case. While I agree it's one event, merger is much preferable here to deletion, thus saving any history and filling gaps in the target article. Bearian (talk) 20:05, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing to merge. What little information in this article that's sourced is already in the case article (I added it from an independent source, not from this article) and what isn't referenced is either not relevant to the case (Baker's early life and life after the case) or is factually inaccurate (the recounting of the case history is wrong per multiple reliable sources).

Delete - per WP:ONEEVENT - we already have a page for the legal case, so nothing, as they say, is lost - Alison ^❤ 03:43, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Reluctantly, but all the good coverage seems to be in relation to and better treated at the case. A simple redirect would also work, as we will need a redirect at this title in any case. - 2/0 (cont.) 06:42, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
