Non-notable genealogist who worked for historical societies. He owned two newspapers. Note that I just removed some irrelevant information from the article so that people skimming the article wouldn't think he was a bicentennial man... much of it was about his ancestry. Also moved some things around for clarity. In terms of BEFORE, did some poking on Newspapers.com, Newspaper Archive, and Google Books, and found nothing relevant. That said, if someone finds more indication of notability, please let me know and I will withdraw the nomination. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 12:08, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep publisher of two newspapers. A gbooks search of: Raymond "Washington at Tarrytown" shows that the paper got some attention. Also, I can find newspaper mentions using his surname and a keyword, but mostly they discuss him with his initials rather than a first name. IceFishing (talk) 15:23, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete being a publisher of minor and often non-notable papers does not make one notable. No actual indication of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:40, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
