talk page or in a

This was a repost seven months after the previous AFD, but it appears to be substantially rewritten, if
this Wikia deletion mirror is an accurate snapshot. His civil rights activism makes him sound at least borderline notable, and there were more claims of achievements
before the worst of the purple prose was ably cleared out by
User:London Hall, but all unsourced, and I can't find any
WP:RS online to verify any of it. This also seems to have been the case for the previous version.

Delete. There are plausible notability claims here that could get him an article if he could actually be shown to clear
WP:GNG for them — but there's nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to entitle him to an article just because his name is present in one book that isn't about him in any non-trivial way. This is even less sourcing than the first version contained, and the first version still wasn't sourced well enough.

Delete - Did some clean up to the article prior to nomination and was also considering nominating it for deletion based on lack of references.
