329:. Reasonable article subject and seems to pass WP:BIO, however at present all the references link to Google Books searches. I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to be, although it might be a temporary placeholder until real references can be put in. Definitely doesn't seem to be a deletion case.

Just because you are dead, doesn't make you encyclopedic. If there were some sort of hook regarding this guy, were he the subject of a book, or did something outstanding, I wouldn't nominate. But as it is, it seems a violation of WP:BIO
210:
I carried out a major revamp of the article at 05:17 UTC - corrections, rewrite and search for references. Votes below this line refer to the new version of the article. It's late here. I'll do some more cleanup later
179:
and cleanup, I disagree that he is non-notable. That he, a former slave, rose to a prominent position in
British society is notable, and the references seem pretty good. Just because he didn't write poetry like
313:- sounds like he knew quite a number of notable people in this historical period, and as a freed slave who became prominent in society in this period, he is intrinsically notable.

He's a significant historical figure, and several of us will be adding references. Just because you're dead doesnt make you non-notable.
