This article was inspired by a post at the Teahouse, Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1161#My_husband’s_Wikipedia_page_disappeared. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 13:47, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
Copypasted from User talk:Mamadancer:
I'm looking for sources and have found some that may be of use. What is primarily wanted are a few that are at the same time WP:RS, independent of the subject and about the subject in some detail, so anything you can think of in that direction is prio 1.
Sources need not be online, but that is of course where most people (and me) are looking, how else could we read them unless we happen to have the same newspaper/book. I found one of the books you mentioned here [1] (it's free to register), can you tell me where Reece is mentioned, I didn't find it? You can reply here, I'm watching this page (not 24/7). Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 16:49, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
Btw, if we can get some sources that reasonably meet WP:BASIC, I can start a new version of the article. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 17:22, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedians, hope you are well. This is a new draft for a subject that was on WP for years, then deleted in March for not having any sources. It happens, WP:BLP etc etc. Subject's wife (say hello to Mamadancer) turned up at the Teahouse asking for help, and I thought this was an article it would be nice if we could have. Sources are not that easy but maybe possible to find (pre-internet career). Mamadancer has listed several which I copypasted above, so if you are interested, please dig in and see what you can find (and use you super search-powers further). Perhaps another American can access the infoweb links, for example.
On sources/text currently in draft. Quite WP:ABOUTSELF heavy, so my guess is it would not survive article-space yet. The video-interview [2] is quite interesting, I recommend it (someone should make a drama about this guy, how about Lee Daniels' The Clown?). I think the unclejrproject.com-bio [3] counts towards WP:GNG (but is not enough), and I based that on that The Smithsonian knows who they are [4]. My reading is "Yes, we interviewed him but we looked at other stuff too." The 2 newspapers are better than passing mentions, but don't tell us much about Reece. You can read the Sarasota Journal if you have WP-library-access and log in first. The obit is just there for the family-fact, not GNG. Thank you for your attention.

A few sources in the current article are afaict WP:OFFLINE. I added them, they were mailed to me by a WP:RX-editor and Mamadancer. If someone should find online versions, feel free to add url:s. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 18:05, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
