Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Watke (2nd nomination)
Similar to comments on the first AFD) a tiny bit of this related to the elevator incident to Grain elevator. In the target article, there is presently no mention of conflicts related to the market power of the railroads/grain elevator owners and the rise of cooperatively owned elevators. In the history of American agriculture the novel "The Octopus" by Norris also dealt with the monopoly power of the grain industry. This man is does not satisfy . He is alleged to have started a fire, but the outcome of his arrest is "unknown" according to the article. He gets a bare mention in some testimony, where the speaker was not sure of his name. I am not seeing multiple reliable and independent sources with significant coverage of Watke. The article has all this biographical detail of his ancestors and family which would be more at home at some genealogical website
