Notability
[edit]Notability is very thin here, feels like a WP:BLP1E? Can't see a material article being developed? 78.18.228.191 (talk) 14:23, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- Before citing BLP1E, hopefully you noticed that the BLP part stands for "biographies of living persons". That causes me to wonder if you actually looked at the few sources provided. They reveal that Marshall died in 1951, so BLP obviously doesn't apply. Then, while giving some measure of acknowledgement to this being a biography, you insert a random WikiProject banner while failing to insert one for WP Biography. I'm totally confused as to what you were after in doing that. It merely adds to the existing lack of effort to build this entry as a biography as opposed to some sort of fanboy exercise.
- Since this isn't a BLP, there's no harm in at least giving it a shot. There are plenty of notable people who have been dead for decades whose notability isn't exactly recognized through a Google search. There's no point in pretending that a Google search is the sole arbiter of notability unless you're after a perpetually third-rate information resource instead of "the sum total of human knowledge".

- The notability here is very weak and his notability is tied to one act. The refs are either not RS quality, or, are localised (i.e. he has no national notanility). I think that in the absence of better refs, this should be checked at AfD; I have a feeling that it will end up there at some stage. Aszx5000 (talk) 11:35, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- AfD has been added. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 15:43, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Aszx5000:, I've added some sources, and mentioned two books in AfD discussion. I feel it's sufficient to satisfy WP:SPORTSPERSON. There are also two books I've mentioned (only has snippet views on Google) in AfD itself. Graywalls (talk) 12:09, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
