Comment: I had offered {{u|Rusf10}} a model for following , but it seems that there is no interest in complying with policy. Whether it's the multiple sources that wold have been found if the nominator had bothered to click under "Find sources" on the word "books" above to get https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22William+Howe+Davis%22 these results or on "NYT" to get https://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch/#/%22William+Howe+Davis%22/ these results or a source like https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/221862675/ "William H. Davis, Quiet but Tough", a detailed in-depth piece about him and his various governmental roles that would have turned up in an ordinary Google search, it seems that  has been systematically ignored, yet again, by a nominator who doesn't seem to understand the critical nature of these requirements in maintaining the integrity of the deletion process

Comment: Doing a little bit of research using a little-known tool called "Google" turned up several sources about Davis and his roles administering alcoholic beverages and amusement games in New Jersey. Davis is covered extensively in reliable and verifiable sources that are indisputably about him and that attest to the significance of his roles in government. Fortunately, the nominator's mere claims of  can be safely ignored, as the Wikipedia standard is about coverage in sources, not assertions of who and what is not notable. If  was observed, it's not apparent here based on the breadth and scope of what could be -- and was -- added with trivial effort
