Sourced entirely to a google groups doc, almost entirely lacking in content/context and that one source refers to him as 'possible' and that his existence may be 'inferred'. Not the stuff of WP:GNG IMHO. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:07, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Mccapra (talk) 18:14, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The article makes absolutely no notability claim beyond the fact that the person existed, and cites no reliable sources. Creator may need to be investigated for basic competence, because they've created a good many of these poorly referenced "Subject was a person who existed, the end" biographies — many of which have further had to be moved back into draftspace as not ready for prime time, and edit protected because they persistently revert-warred to move them back into mainspace without improving them.
