Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bruce McAbee
Fails  and . Several of the refs are trivial or passing reference or lack independence. A proforma press release printed in a paper about personnel changes (ref 1) does not count for very much toward notability. I see one reference which is independent, reliable and substantial enough to support notability, and that is ref 2 from New Mexico Business Weekly, which has extensive quotes from McAbee. Ref 3, about a small scholarship fund from his company which grants small scholarships to children of employees, is trivial. Ref 3, Farm Credit Update announcing his successor, is trivial. Ref 4, announcing his successor, is trivial so far as he is concerned. Ref 5 is a publication of his credit union, and thus not independent. I searched Google News archives, and in addition to these inadequate refs all I could find was passing reference to his participation in 4H club activities when he was 9 and similar brief mentions/passing reference, indicating there are not lots of quality refs out there just waiting to be added
