Deletion of James Simon (Businessman)

Comment: into History of the Brenham Jewish Community. In the current state of the article, it looks like the sources are essentially primary, which would mean that Wikipedia would be the first place that a comprehensive biography on this individual would be published. Understanding and appreciating the effort involved in bringing this material together, the difficulty is that Wikipedia is intended only to republish material whose |significance and |accuracy has been previously vetted by other |sources; a first biography would be prohibited by the OR|no original research policy and |biography guideline. I would suggest merging this material with an article on a broader topic such as History of the Brenham Jewish Community, since the policy for stand-alone biographies is stricter than the requirements for brief mention in a broader article. As a stand-alone article there currently isn't enough sourcing to meet policy requirements. If additional sourcing is found please let me know and I'd be happy to reconsider. Best

Comment: Writing cheques is a form of self-publishing that doesn't confer much notability... doesn't meet , otable
