- Speedy delete if that is the case.--JyriL talk 17:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I won't say speedy because it does look like an attempt was made to re-write the obit, rather than just a pure copy and paste. Nonetheless, the subject is not notable, and despite Billy Hathorn's stubborn insistence on using them, biographies from people's funeral programs and obituaries of non-public figures are not acceptable as sources for estabilshing notability, since anyone can have them, and are also not acceptable as sources for any significant or challengeable article content, since they say pretty much anything the family wants them to say, without being thoroughly fact-checked.
