This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --KenMahler (talk) 19:29, 19 January 2017 (UTC) Hulbert Taft was a notable figure in Cincinnati history. He made many significant contributions to that city, not only as editor of the Cincinnati Times-Star, but as an individual who wielded much influence over local and national politics, As such, he is "remarkable or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded within Wikipedia.In addition, he was a member of Cincinnati's Taft political family. While that association by itself does not warrant an article, when considering that fact in conjunction with Taft's other achievements, I contend his life and career reflects the Taft families heritage of public service to Cincinnati, and, as such, further justifies a Wikipedia article.Reply

Several reliable secondary sources have published articles featuring Hulbert Taft, including Time Magazine (8/4/1958, "Death of the Times-Star") ,Cincinnati Magazine (July 1987,"The Rapid Rise and Fractious Fall of Taft Broadcasting,p. 56), Cincinnati Magazine (December 1984, "Hulbert Taft's Missing Editorial", pps. 55-64), Life Magazine (May 26, 1952, "The Tafts of Cincinnati", Pps. 105-112)
