Non-notable educator. Only claim to fame cited is that he had to testify in a trial! Nothing found when searching for more sources, just the standard genelogy websites. Looks like The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spam. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:23, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:POLITICIAN as a state superintendent of education, as verified by the New York Times. Calling a biography of a person who died 105 years ago "spam" does not strike me as helpful. Cullen328 (talk) 17:47, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep: For someone as ready as Lugnuts to howl WP:BEFORE! at the drop of a byte, he doesn't seem to have exerted himself much on this pointy AfD ... and this really isn't a good look for someone who's Wikipedia's champion for creating SIGCOV-less sub-stubs, to the point that he was recently community banned from stub creation for six months. Obvious sources are obvious. I'm comfortable with calling this a bad faith nomination. Ravenswing 14:59, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
