Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Francis James (missionary)
The article actually does have sources, though it appears the article creator is not familiar with Wikipedia referencing practices, since he uses raw URLs and cites some other Wikipedia articles. To verify there was such a missionary, see  http://lib.stanford.edu/east-asia-library/chinese-books-display-textbooks-end-19th-and-early-20-century-china a book in the Stanford University library which says "Xiu Yaochun (秀耀春, Francis Huberty James, 1851-1900), missionary from Britain, taught in the Imperial University, Peking (京师大学堂)."  Substantial coverage in reliable sources is needed: see http://books.google.com/books?id=BylfTMGyHRAC&pg=PA273&lpg=PA273&dq=%22Francis+Huberty+James%22&source=bl&ots=KHydHK8DCl&sig=2k67Ix2KiM8zsgXqzyJfAwX9ys0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PsxgT87SHsX-sQKM5siWCA&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22Francis%20Huberty%20James%22&f=false a book on missionaries in China, which has extensive coverage of this person.  (check for copy/paste, might need rephrasing in Wiki article). His martyrdom in 1900 is verified by http://books.google.com/books?id=Is4NAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA473&lpg=PA473&dq=%22Francis+Huberty+James%22&source=bl&ots=DKfb7WdW9Z&sig=p1BZqs_tb9OTyKs08FeVIDUm2O0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PsxgT87SHsX-sQKM5siWCA&ved=0CFwQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=%22Francis%20Huberty%20James%22&f=false. He is also covered extensively in http://books.google.com/books?id=v2I-AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA82&lpg=PA82&dq=%22Francis+Huberty+James%22&source=bl&ots=b7RN7gI0I1&sig=AAYhpgGhgB6eWvwDlMhMdJB9_t8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=es9gT4I6yem2B4WHjKoF&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAjgK#v=onepage&q=%22Francis%20Huberty%20James%22&f=false. In sum, the subject satisfies  and the article needs editing rather than deletion
