Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Henry d'Agier
I am puzzled as to why this has been relisted a second time. Most of the "keep" arguments are completely spurious, or completely unrelated to Wikipedia policy, or both. For example "according to , "Mayors" without distinction in size of the town are considered to meet the criterion" is simply not true, as can be verified by reading . Then we have "being mayor he was sworn in by the prefect of Calvados and receiving the honour of working for the people", which does not relate in the least to Wikipedia's notability criteria. More than once we have words to the effect "I expect more sources exist, but I am not in a position to find them". Unfortunately the onus is on those who want a "keep" to establish that adequate sources exist: guessing that they probably do is not sufficient. Also even if, as suggested, further information exists in Caen's departmental archives, this is not '''independent''' coverage: of course all local governments have records of people who have worked for them, notable or not. At present only one source is cited, and while I do not have access to this source, Ravenswing has, and tells us the source "has a few sentences about d'Agier's existence and the photostat of a document he signed". In short, there is no evidence at all that d'Agier comes anywhere near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability criteria
