Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Howe Davis
I had offered {{u|Rusf10}} a model for following , but it seems that there is no interest in complying with policy. Whether it's the multiple sources that wold have been found if the nominator had bothered to click under "Find sources" on the word "books" above to get https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22William+Howe+Davis%22 these results or on "NYT" to get https://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch/#/%22William+Howe+Davis%22/ these results or a source like https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/221862675/ "William H. Davis, Quiet but Tough", a detailed in-depth piece about him and his various governmental roles that would have turned up in an ordinary Google search, it seems that  has been systematically ignored, yet again, by a nominator who doesn't seem to understand the critical nature of these requirements in maintaining the integrity of the deletion process
