Deletion of Frank Ongley Darvall

Comment: The subject passes WP:POLITICIAN#3 because "such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". This section is important as it recognises that subjects should not be assessed solely on their political career, which was often not their primary career. This is true of Darvall who also had notability outside of politics. Wieno admits to only locating one of the three secondary sources in the article, but nevertheless chose to nominate AfD which was an action that does not adhere to , by-passing . The other two sources would have been located had the nominator followed #D1:"The minimum search expected is a Google Books". I have just checked and can confirm that both of the other two sources can still be located in Google Books. Trying to assess if a subject has "significant coverage in reliable sources" can be difficult and very subjective. Fortunately in assessing UK subjects, life is a bit easier; I would argue that any UK subject who managed to force their way into the esteemed UK publication Who's Who has sufficient notability to make it into wikipedia. As the article confirms, Darvall has this notability. As the nominator describes themselves as a Canadian (a fine bunch of people) it is possible that they will not have heard of Who's Who and even if they had, may well have not been able to access http://www.ukwhoswho.com without a UK library card

Comment: passes  but as an author too. I should declare that I came here having seen it above a message I left regarding an inappropriate CSD for another article. After seeing this also perhaps User Wieno you should re read GNG and other related criteria. You probably also  should not tag with a speedy for deletion any sourced article. Best regards all the same
