Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David L. Richards
The strongest argument for notability seems to me to be that he cofounded the CIRI Human Rights Data Project, which is mentioned in the infobox but not in the article text; see https://today.uconn.edu/2015/03/violence-against-women-the-scope-and-strength-of-the-law/ this ''UConn Today'' article about the book he co-wrote (not cited in the article). I'm not sure that's enough. What tips me toward recommending deletion is that {{U|Richardsdl!!}}, saying he was the article subject, tried to have it deleted in 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_L._Richards&diff=755729652&oldid=755677533 blanking, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_L._Richards&diff=755772626&oldid=755747269 speedy templating. (There were also photo substitutions by {{U|Sophia1778}}, who apparently said on Commons that she was Richards' wife.) In cases of marginal notability, we usually respect the subject's wishes. Things are complicated by suggestions that the article creator, {{U|Daver68}}, was Richards&nbsp;... but I'm going to |assume that if that was so, the subject had a change of heart about the article, and come down on the side of honoring the request. Since Daver68 has been notified of this discussion, I'll also drop notifications on the other two account talk pages in addition to my pings here
