Deletion of Robert G. Heft

Comment: Per above as not |notable. Fails  and  since "|Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.". Fails  and .  A politician that has been a mayor with an otherwise mundane personal and professional life (does not advance notability) has claimed to be the "designer" of the current 50-star flag. The article states, '''"To date, there is no independent verification of Heft's account"'''. Lacking the before-now-deemed-important criteria of sourcing this would be a no-brainer. Wikilawyering that  cannot count because there is sufficient |refbombing of insignificant sources related to; "Ohio Democrat Chairman Coleman Speaks At Annual Fall Luncheon" (Really!) or interviews or personal accounts such as; "Bob Heft Vividly Remembers Designing Flag" or "Flag Imput Noted From Mayor Heft", leaves us with nothing but the ''fact'' that there is "no independent verification of Heft's account". Where is the https://www.newspapers.com/clip/19910238/flag_imput_noted_from_mayor_heft_the/ "national attention" sources? If there are conspiracy thoughts that the feds are just yanking the lime-light and credit then ''redirect to flag'' as an area of contention. If we wish to start including that "...(civic leadership, mayor of (small pop.) corn belt county seat,)..." adds up to notability, we have to change all the "rules" to allow every mayor (or politician) in the US, and the equivalent world-wide, an article. All they would need is one unverifiable and possibly interesting, yet actually unsupportable "fact" (interviews and primary sources don't count), to tilt the balance! If we are not going to Slippery slope|"slide down that slope" then "my unverifiable claim to a possibly important event" is just that and the article does not deserve stand-alone status
