For WP:ANYBIO #2, James D. M. Beebe was a well-known Sandy Hook Pilot who organized the New Jersey Sandy Hook Pilots Association where he served for 55 years.^[1]^[2] Greg Henderson (talk) 22:46, 12 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

This is circular reasoning. WP:ANYBIO explicitly says Generally, a person who is "part of the enduring historical record" will have been written about, in depth, independently in multiple history books in that field, by historians. An obituary and a book about the particular association he was a member of do not meet that level. `Melcous (talk)

James D. M. Beebe organized the New Jersey-Sandy Hook Pilots' Association. There are 23 results for "James D. M. Beebe" on Newspapers.com. The fact that he organized the New Jersey-Sandy Hook Pilots' Association makes him notable as reported in several different obituaries. Back in 19th century there was not the kind of reporting that we have today. There is a full-page accounting of him here. Greg Henderson (talk) 00:13, 15 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
