Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greene Fort Pinkston
As someone whose parents were likely born as slaves and ended up as a prosperous physician and landowner, this individual is "notable" by common definitions of the word. The question whether there is enough written about him by  sources to support a standalone article is a more difficult one. This newspaper article (http://www.commercialappeal.com/story/opinion/columnists/jerome-wright/2016/11/05/honor-gentleman-farmer/93244096/) contains the most detail I could find online and it also mention's a 1963 Memphis Press-Scimitar article about Pinkston by Clark Porteous, which should be available in library archives. Combined with the Arcadia Publishing book entry https://books.google.com/books?id=OdZKOrUOZ6EC&pg=PA35&dq=%22Greene+Fort+Pinkston%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiO7ITSsqrXAhXIKyYKHXqWAQwQ6AEIJjAA#v=onepage&q=%22Greene%20Fort%20Pinkston%22&f=false already included as a reference, I find the decision a close one. Some will likely say that the offered sources are merely local or regional coverage, but I think it would be unrealistic to expect wider coverage for, as the above newspaper article's author put it: "an African-American man who overcame the obstacles thrown in front of him by the Jim Crow South, to become an important landowner and physician".
