Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Rickman
I'd be willing to buy "Director of Hospitals of the Continental Army in Virginia" as a credible notability claim if the article were actually supported by |reliable source coverage about him, but that's not what the sources here are. #1 is a (deadlinked) family genealogy, not a reliable or notability-supporting source, #2 is here only to support a statement about the usual age at which men married in that era but contains no information about Rickman whatsoever (not even a glancing mention of his name!), and #3 is the (deadlinked) front splash page of a local historical society (with no verifiable evidence on a Wayback Machine search that it actually contained any content about Rickman himself.) And in addition to not being reliable sources in the first place, all of them are just footnoting the conflicting speculations about his personal life, rather than any content that actually pertains to his potential notability claim as a public official at all. Which means none of the sources here are cutting it at all in terms of establishing notability, and the role is not "inherently" notable enough to ''exempt'' him from having to be sourced much better than this
