Ice cream vendor who got an obituary in a local newspaper, I think this fails WP:NBIO. Previous AfD was about a different person, I think (a non-notable footballer). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:15, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep the article itself is crap, but a quick search of "Sammy Lunn" Adelaide means he's probably notable, he even got an MBE (not automatically notable, but not a small feat.)
[1] And his funeral procession is in the government archives

- Delete not notable per nominator. We do not keep articles on Ice cream vendors and an MBE does not automatically confer notability. Lightburst ( talk) 15:47, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
