Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rex D. Russell
I'd suggest merging into an article on his book, per , except that the book itself doesn't appear sufficiently notable for its own article. If it isn't, he is even less so. The only real source is the newspaper obit — rootsweb is not reliable and genealogical information is not useful for checking notability, and similarly the drscore site isn't helpful in this regard unless we want to assert that every physician is notable, and I don't think we do. But I don't think an obituary only from his home town newspaper, a town of less than 100,000, means much either; it's not uncommon for papers at this level to print obits for any resident whose family takes the effort to write one
