Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James D. Nicoll (2nd nomination)
If the rules (whether they be the notability ones, or the sourcing ones, or whatever) make this article a deletion candidate, then the problem is with the rules and the correct response is to modify them, not delete the article.  Modifying the rules is of course a huge faff, but luckily we already have  precisely to deal with these edge cases.  Further, in response to the "not a vote" tag, while I did come over here having heard about the AfD from fandom sources, the reason I came and chipped in was that I saw it as a chance to flag up my concerns about these issues, which are precisely why I no longer bother actively editing Wikipedia beyond copyedits, and normally do so anonymously
