  • Delete. Unsourced,. Weak claim to notability appears to be unsourceable (as does the rest of the article). Jakew 10:23, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete I'm sure Fred was a good guy and a good farmer, but there's no evidence that he meets the criteria for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Also, if you look on the talk page of the article's creator (TRBUFF), you will see that he was notified of this AfD and responded thusly at 13:54, 26 August 2007 (UTC): "As the creator of the article, I give permission for the article to be deleted." He may not have understood that his permission was not at issue in an AfD, but it shows us that there's not a big push to find any information that would save this article. 'Nuff said.
