Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Romney Lyle Pearce
sadly. None of this is referenced in the way Wikipedia NEEDS things to be referenced; to |reliable, unrelated secondary sources. The only reference given is a book written by the subject's ''son'', which concerns me as there could be a |conflict of interest - a loyal son may be less than forthcoming about negative character traits, and may see his father as more notable than he was. Unfortunately, since that's the only reference given, there's no way to check on it. If the writer of this article could locate and provide references to Romney Lyle Pearce written by unrelated third parties (Portland newspaper archives, for instance, or the published writings of local historians) and write the article based on those sources, it would be acceptable. Just because something is true doesn't mean it should be in Wikipedia: it has to be supported by reliable, unrelated secondary sources
