[edit] Dr. Richard Aldrich

Dr. Richard Aldrich (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

COI issues aside, this article does not meet WP:BIO - there is almost no biographical information whatsoever on the subject. The lack of Google hits on the structure Aldrich supposedly built (this article is the only one) also points to NN. MSJapan 17:59, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Per nominator Rackabello 18:17, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - No sources (much less reliable ones), the article barely mentions its subject (Most of it discuss a building he apparently build and the efforts of two other people to make it a landmark). If "the Castle" ever does gain landmark status, I could see creating an article on that subject ... but not under this title. Blueboar 19:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I've no doubt the Castle existed: see [1]. But I mentioned the attribution problem to the author on 26th March, and nothing has been forthcoming. Tearlach 19:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No reliable sources and no evidence of notability. EdJohnston 23:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No evidence of notability, no reliable sources. -Will Beback · † · 01:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nominator, WP:BIO, WP:NN. --HubHikari 01:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. MER-C 02:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, nothing on the topic, and no notability. Might even be a hoax, as no sources are given. --Stephan Schulz 01:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all of the above. — Athænara ✉ 02:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm willing to wait a bit. I'd like to see the article become a keeper. — Æ. ✉ 08:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • please continue this AfD The talk p. says that sources are being addded; let's give it a chance. DGG 07:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't agree with that. The sources being gotten appear to be about the "Castle", not about Aldrich himself, and the fact that the requests are from "local residents" still strikes me as NN. If a thing is really notable, it should not take over two weeks (the time between posts on the talk page) to find a source on it. MSJapan 17:01, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Been a week since last delete vote. Still reads like WP:NFT. Mystache 00:43, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
