Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nathanial Bates
One of a series of cut-and-paste deletion nominations by this nominator. No indication that  has been followed in this case. I also find it offensive and contrary to policy that independent, published coverage in the local press is deemed not "independent enough." This is not NewYorkCitypedia or Londonpedia or Chicagopedia, this is Wikipedia
