Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Henry Rasor
I came to this thinking I wold vote delete, but I'm not naturally a deletionist. My main prolem is this: he didn't do anything notable except own a lot of land. Maybe if he owned a quantifiably and unusually large amount of land (4,000 doesn't seem unusual for a rancher), I'd make this a strong keep. If he held any office, I'd also say tis was strong. Otherwise, I'm voting keep ''solely'' because I think local history gets undercut on Wikipedia by AfD-happy editors, and although not all local heroes are inherently notable, Wiki isn't so small of a place that it can't be inclusive. I do agree with Cullen to the extent that everyone here is forgetting that  states tha being found in reliable sources creates only a ''presumption'' of notability, not a guarantee
