Comment: I didn't say that the subject is not potentially notable only that the reference is unacceptable. It is essentially a blogsite not an acceptable reference. Dan arndt (talk) 02:37, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: Irrespective of who the author was, wikipedias do not have independent editorial oversight and are therefore considered unreliable. You need to provide the primary sources not a wikipedia reference. The Lincoln legal lawsuit wasn't a significant/notable legal case and therefore Kinkead's role wasn't notable. Dan arndt (talk) 02:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: Fails WP:ANYBIO, requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Wikipedias are not acceptable or reliable sources. The Lincoln reference is not a notable incident. Dan arndt (talk) 02:17, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
