Deletion of Douglas E. Richards

Comment: I reviewed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Kominas (2nd nomination)|this AfD filed by the nom yesterday, and found a blizzard of high quality, substantive sources (including the ''Boston Globe'', the ''Washington Post'', ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, the Associated Press and ''Newsweek''), demonstrating that the nom didn't make the slightest effort to source the article, as  requires he do before filing an AfD.  I checked his contribution history, and found to my shock that in the course of over '''five hundred''' edits he made over the last two days, he filed the astonishing number of '''51''' AfDs, some of them as little as three minutes apart.  Many of them have the same failures of  as this one
