Deletion of Greene Fort Pinkston

Comment: As someone whose parents were likely born as slaves and ended up as a prosperous physician and landowner, this individual is "notable" by common definitions of the word. The question whether there is enough written about him by  sources to support a standalone article is a more difficult one. This newspaper article (http://www.commercialappeal.com/story/opinion/columnists/jerome-wright/2016/11/05/honor-gentleman-farmer/93244096/) contains the most detail I could find online and it also mention's a 1963 Memphis Press-Scimitar article about Pinkston by Clark Porteous, which should be available in library archives. Combined with the Arcadia Publishing book entry https://books.google.com/books?id=OdZKOrUOZ6EC&pg=PA35&dq=%22Greene+Fort+Pinkston%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiO7ITSsqrXAhXIKyYKHXqWAQwQ6AEIJjAA#v=onepage&q=%22Greene%20Fort%20Pinkston%22&f=false already included as a reference, I find the decision a close one. Some will likely say that the offered sources are merely local or regional coverage, but I think it would be unrealistic to expect wider coverage for, as the above newspaper article's author put it: "an African-American man who overcame the obstacles thrown in front of him by the Jim Crow South, to become an important landowner and physician".

Comment: edit conflict) - Subject passes , article passes , . Individual was one of the earliest black doctors in the Memphis area and one of the earliest black drug company owners in America. I don't seem to have access to the archives of the Memphis Commercial Appeal or the Memphis Press Scimitar, but both of those newspapers would be useful places to look for more coverage of the individual, indeed the 2016 article from the Appeal by Wright references a 1963 article (possibly an obit) in the Scimtar
