I vote not to delete the Edmond Davis article at this time.  The references, or "no evidence of notability," will be supported by external and internal links or hyperlinks.  'Edmond Davis' is a new page, and we will get this right.  For the time being, we will let it remain with the references it already has.  This is only a matter of proper citation.  I kept adding hyperlinks (wikilinks) to the truth of who he is. I will just use his book, website, and other news articles.  I had those before.   I support keeping it as it is for the time being.

[ reply ] What's given is primary sourcing, do you have better links you can share?  Oaktree b ( talk ) 20:28, 11 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Greetings all, The Edmond Davis article should be Edmond W. Davis, but I digress.  It should remain attached as a resource at this time.  Elin Kerry should put more information with citation as it grows, but keep it as a valid and open wiki page.

[ reply ] There are none, that's what we're looking for.  Oaktree b ( talk ) 20:28, 11 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : He wrote a book, but the source used doesn't say what it's called, and I can't find mention of it.  There is no coverage of this individual, likely not passing PROF or AUTHOR.  Hosting workshops is not notable, appears to be a working academic.  Oaktree b ( talk ) 20:23, 11 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Edmond W. Davis brings up a bit more, the first thing is his ImDB page (which isn't useful), a bunch of biographical links and his youtube page.  Long way from GNG or notability.  Appears to be PROMO for his other ventures.  Oaktree b ( talk ) 20:25, 11 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] THE NAME OF THE BOOK IS CALLED, 'PIONEERING AFRICAN AMERICAN AVIATORS FEATURING THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN OF ARKANSAS'  Here is the link.

Any scholar who's done these thing below can attest to that.  Below is my explanation to why I think the article should stay or is relevant to any encyclopedia addition.  1. Edmond Davis wrote Arkansas' first ever Tuskegee Airmen history textbook used in k-12 and in the college classrooms in Arkansas  2. Davis started the nation's first ever Historically Black College and/or University Black Wall Street Career Fest  3. He was the speechwriter and biographer for the nation's last living CPTP Flight Instructor for the Tuskegee Airmen, Dr. Milton P. Crenchaw (1919-2015).  4. He was the host & producer of America's only weekly radio show designed to address and seek solutions to Black fratricides in the U.S. (KEEPING IT 100 WITH DORI) -or- The Derek Olivier Research Institute (D.O.R.I.)  5. He wrote the 1st article in the world that discussed Black & Brown elements of STEM in the third decade of the 21st century  6.  He was the only Director of Career Services in the U.S. to have a short documentary of his life, a 20 year college professor, a community activist, an Amazon #1 new release author, a radio host/producer, and a wrote a Tuskegee Airmen history book.  These are all newsworthy also for wikipedia, but he still doing things.  My vote is to keep the article for Professor Edmond Davis operational.  Thank you.

I see no sign of WP:NPROF , and didn't find any reviews for WP:NAUTHOR (so, even a redirect to the one book is not a good alternative to deletion).   The activities described by the single-purpose-accounts in this discussion all look like the run of the mill stuff that every professor does, with little evidence of particular impact.
