Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. I can not find any secondary sources about this Aron Wright; they all appear to be primary sources.  Bait30  ^Talk? 03:20, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:NACADEMIC point 6. Presidents and founders of institutions of higher education have generally met GNG requirements. Gamaliel (talk) 12:18, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Does Miami Valley College count as a major academic institution per #6 of WP:NACADEMIC? The school existed from 1870 to 1883, and I don't know how accreditation worked back then.  Bait30  ^Talk? 19:15, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • A college would need a lot of evidence to establish its having been a major academic institution if it only existed for 13 years. In other words, I would say that Miami Valley College wasn't even close to being a major academic institution. (None of the U.S.'s regional accreditation agencies were founded until a few years after this college closed. But even if the college had remained open a few more years and achieved accreditation, accreditation alone is not enough to establish "major" status.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:46, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Not every head of every college that ever existed is notable. There is no reading of "major academic institution" that would include Miami Valley College.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:37, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I just want to point out that Metropolitan90's reply above was made after this AfD was relisted.  Bait30  ^Talk? 17:06, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The Yale Obituary should be cited, but is not. [1] Some other references: [2][3][4]. WP:NPROF isn't usually so helpful for historical figures. It's a bit hard to find sources going this far back, but it looks like there's some coverage. It may (or may not) be enough for a weak pass of GNG.
