Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Howe Davis
Doing a little bit of research using a little-known tool called "Google" turned up several sources about Davis and his roles administering alcoholic beverages and amusement games in New Jersey. Davis is covered extensively in reliable and verifiable sources that are indisputably about him and that attest to the significance of his roles in government. Fortunately, the nominator's mere claims of  can be safely ignored, as the Wikipedia standard is about coverage in sources, not assertions of who and what is not notable. If  was observed, it's not apparent here based on the breadth and scope of what could be -- and was -- added with trivial effort
