Delete: as non-notable. Although a person of the Salem witch trials, the complete lack of information about him makes any possibility of notability void. There are other redlinked names relating to the Salem witch trials and in the template. Quis separabit? 03:14, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

• Delete no redirect: This article appears to be an Ancestry.com result. Given the fact that the bare bones of the subject are already covered without the "III," and given that those bones are fairly hard to document in the first place, there is no need to have this more genealogically minded article. Did anyone check the "what links here?" Hithladaeus (talk) 17:57, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
• Delete -- The Salem Witch trials were the result of poisoning from mouldy grain that causes its victims hallucinations. This led to mass hysteria in which people accused each other of responsibility. I cannot see how evry villager who was involved in these events can be WP-notable. We have an article Edward Bishop (Salem witch trials), which refers to EDward Bishop III as son of Edward Bishop Jr, who was involved in the events. The Salem events are certainly notable; I would guess that would extend to a few of the important participants, but we have a navigation template on this article with a dozen or more redlinks on it. I would strongly discourage the creation of articles on a lot of NN participants swept up inot these tragic events. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:34, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
