Deletion of James Edwin Powell (2nd nomination)

Comment: I have to agree with Vrac in that I also find the whole era thing amazing - I wouldn't know the first thing about writing about someone who was born & died in 1800s so personally I find it amazing that someone this year did!, Anyway waffling on! - I'll admit the sources aren't great but IMHO it'll be beneficial to keep the article than to delete it (Yes I know I'm keeping in essence per  but its extremely rare I do
