Comment: See comments below): I have "looked" for sources that would denote |notability. Interesting story and person but the criteria for |inclusion, according to , is ''"If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"'', with |verifiable evidence. The |deletion policy states reasons for delition; #7)- "The Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed", and #8)- "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, , WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)", and sources for the subject are just not evident
