[edit] Johnson Parks

Johnson Parks (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unreferenced stub article on a very old person, tagged as unreferenced since September. I have found no substantive coverage (though I don't guarantee that my search was exhaustive). He is listed in Oldest people and in List of the oldest people , which is quite sufficient for this factoid unless anyone finds substantial coverage in reliable sources to establish notability per WP:BIO. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - I also searched and could only find either results that returned a 404 or were likely sourced from Wikipedia (Chat Forums etc).Poeloq (talk) 10:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - I added a reference if that's all that was required? and GRG[1] seems to be a reliable source? Sting_au Talk 11:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
  • That's a reference to a list which support the fact of Parks's age, but the mimimum notability test of WP:BIO is substantial coverage in reliable sources. Lists entries are not substantial coverage. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete There are still too few references —Preceding unsigned comment added by Olliyeah (talk • contribs) 14:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete No substantial independent, reliable sources to establish meeting WP:N or WP:BIO. Nothing here that couldn't be summarized in the many supercentenarian lists. GRG, for reasons that have been hashed over excruciatingly for the last few months, is not a reliable enough source. Cheers, CP 16:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Just getting old does not satisfy WP:BIO. The references, which are mere directory listings, are not the substantial coverage required to show notability per WP:N. Inclusion in a list is sufficient. Edison (talk) 17:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
