Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron Reed
First off, the only |reliable news source in the article ''about the subject'' https://www.denverpost.com/2011/04/21/birding-for-beginners-in-south-texas-along-the-gulf-coast/ discusses his work as a tour guide in ''three paragraphs''. https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198782797.001.0001/oso-9780198782797-chapter-9 This book, also a reliable source in the article, appears to have nothing at all to do with the subject. That's hardly |significant coverage required of |general notability. Secondly, this writer fails |the relevant guideline on writers. There is no evidence that any of the subject's writing has ever gotten reviews, or even attacks, in a major publication. Thirdly, I don't see any awards for fishing, which is another claim for notability. We have |generally eliminated sports figures unless they are "fully professional". He's ''not'' a professional sports fisherman; rather, he makes a living as a fishing guide. This person seems to be a |run of the mill tour guide who's gotten in a couple of local papers and specialty periodicals. Good for him. His connection with |a foundation, even if it were notable, |can't confer notability on him. I note that being awarded a patent does ''not'' make a person automatically notable. Finally, there's |no evidence he's won a service medal or promotion in the military and thus conferring automatic notability. Three generations of my family have served as sailors/marines, but none of them were notable. Please thank him for his service to our country, but that doesn't make him notable. |I tried to find better sources online. Under Google scholar, there's 300 hits, but they appear to be for other persons (A.W. Reed is a scholar at University of Missouri-Kansas City, a different Aaron Reed appears to have edited some nursing textbooks, and yet another Aaron Reed was a local leader in Bedford, New York). Finally, there's a former wrestler with a similar name. None of them are notable either. By the way, WorldCat shows https://www.worldcat.org/title/local-angler-fly-fishing-austin-central-texas/oclc/1049791552 his book is not in any listed library, and Google books shows https://books.google.com/books?id=IPtruQEACAAJ&dq=%22Aaron+Reed%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjBwrvnwcnkAhU1SxUIHfRgA2kQ6AEwBHoECAEQAg zero reviews. Sorry
