Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Derrick Morris
Article is hung entirely on |obituaries with most of the information taken from |direct quotes from Morris himself. We claim, in Wikipedia's voice, that he "travelled the world", but looking at the source that is revealed to be a claim he made about himself, and he apparently clarified that by "the world" he meant "America and the Far East, Europe" -- well, my parents took me on a trip to Toronto when I was a baby, and I've lived about a third of my life in Japan, with the other two thirds spent mostly in Ireland, although I've travelled to most other countries in western Europe, but I certainly wouldn't call that "the world", and Wikipedia should not be either; if we cannot find any sources that cover this topic in more detail and are suitably independent of him (the BBC source is useless given its heavy reliance on direct quotation -- it's a nice obituary, but Wikipedia is not in that business
