Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alvan Lafargue
We have not handed over the determination of Wikipedia notability to the Louisiana Historical Association. Entries in local biography compendia are not adequate to satisfy  or .The online biographical dictionary has no explanation or criteria as to how the persons listed are chosen, or what qualifications a submitted biography would have to meet, so it appears to be an  indiscriminate compendium. The collection of papers at Tulane are primarily those of other members of his family, and notability is not inherited. The site says "The papers primarily concern Arnaud, Pierre-Adolphe, Adolphe J., and Annie Lafargue." The fact that he was mayor of a town of 20k and a physician for 50 years are not adequate to justify a biography in Wikipedia
