Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Statue of Thomas Cass
the sourcing in this article was, to be frank, almost as bad as on the fictional characters, no-hit wonders, and professional puffery that normally populate AfD.  To be fair, the NYT article is actually fairly extensive, both describing the statue and some of the circumstances surrounding its installation, but as referenced in the article it was impossible to access.  It didn't even include such helpful things as a non-hidden version of the date of publish.  I have fixed that. Nevertheless, one reference notability does not confer. I have, however, found sources ranging from Boston to Columbus Nebraska (which might be a re-print of a national agency) describing the statue, the process of its commission, creation, installation, and unveiling, and public reaction to it.  Considering that I had to modify the search terms to find anything useful and that the sources in the article before I messed with it were all either bad or inaccessible, I think that excoriating the nominator for a lack of  is out of line
