Absolutely no sourcing found whatsoever, fails WP:V Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:24, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Oodles of sources, historic photos, and documentation of his racing motorboat and naval career on Google Books. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:52, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. It was trivial to find sources for his racing boats in Motorboating, Power Boating, and the Rudder. Anmccaff (talk) 05:14, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• @Anmccaff: So trivial that you didn't even add them to the article. Because you clearly believe that saying "I found sources" is the same thing as adding them to the article right? They will just magically add themselves. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 06:14, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The idea that no sources are available, the explicit basis of your AfD, is disproven with two minutes spent on Google; that is enough tp end the subject here. Anything further belongs on the article, its talk page, or ANI. Anmccaff (talk) 17:46, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. http://www.idaillinois.org/cdm/ref/collection/qpl/id/1865, https://books.google.com/books?id=lcywsU36sEEC&pg=PA33, http://www.whig.com/article/20100416/ARTICLE/304169975, etc.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:04, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• @SarekOfVulcan: Again, finding the source means it automatically adds itself to the article, right? Nothing more has to be done here? It's automatically turned into an FA just because you found that? If you're going to argue notability and dig up sources, then how much harder is it to fucking add them? I see this all the time: people scream their heads off that it's notable, argue that it be kept, but no one ever adds the sources, so 10 years later the article is still an unsourced trainwreck.

Tenpoundhammer what stops you from adding sources to the article? Are you too busy wasting peoples' time at your rotten afd? FloridaArmy (talk) 19:32, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What's stopping you from adding them? AGain, are you expecting the article to magically turn into an FA overnight just because you said keep? If you're gonna talk the talk, walk the walk. Not that fucking hard. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:16, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
