The article was originally deleted because it had a single source. That has changed. The article now has multiple sources and the significance of Forbes is established on a handful of fronts. I know it's a built-in reflex to consider deleting articles previously deleted, but it seems here the burden of proof is on the would-be deleters. Thmazing (talk) 21:01, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This page should not be speedily deleted because the page has more sources than it did previously. Forbes is the subject of a 1949 newspaper article and has a biography in a book on Utah pioneers. Two other newspaper articles review the book that Paul Bailey wrote about his father. He is also mentioned in a few paragraphs in a paper on Latter-day Saints who fought in the Civil War. There are also more in-line citations than there were before. --Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 22:20, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
