Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Douglas Z. Doty
Sorry, but the nominator did not follow procedures set by |deletion policy, seen in his #REASON|failure to provide a valid rationale for deletion.  His terse nomination comment "no reliable sources" ''implied'' that it should be deleted because the article did not contain reliable sources... an issue |easily addressable through regular editing... and one that does not require deletion. His rationale is specially invalid in the light of other's  showing that |sources '''DO''' exist for this notable screenwriter whose career preceded the internet |by over 50 years. We do not delete notable persons who are no longer alive to catch headlines. Per the AFD forcing work by others, this discussion is now moot
