[edit] Joseph Rhea
Nomination for deletion No assertion of encyclopedic notability as far as I can tell. Subject is a 18th century colonial churchman. Article was created by new account User:Foleyef. The article mentions that the history of the Rheas is outlined in "The Descendants of Rev. Joseph Rhea of Ireland" 1996 by Dr. Edward F. Foley. Mr. Foley is described as "an amateur historian and a member of genealogical societies in South Carolina and Tennessee... [who is] married into the Rhea clan" in this link. Mr. Foley's genealogical project is no doubt a fine and well-intentioned one, but unfortunately there isn't sufficient assertion of encyclopedic notability as the article stands at the moment for inclusion in Wikipedia, I believe. Fails WP:BIO. (Now an article about Joseph's son, John Rhea may well be more viable). Bwithh 02:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. This is clearly a conflict of interest, as Foleyef can be rearranged to E.F. Foley or Edward F. Foley. This is also patent original research from there. «TTV»(talk|contribs|email) 19:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

- He doesn't appear in either the National Cyclopedia of American Biography or the Dictionary of American Biography. Delete, I'm afraid. -- Bpmullins | Talk 21:52, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete All that without any published sources? But, fine to keep per Alf photoman. KP Botany 22:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
