Comment: (1) There is no evidence whatsoever that Josiah Dunbar satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Not a single one of the references cited is substantial coverage of him in a reliable independent source; nor have searches for better sources had any success. He clearly does not satisfy the notability guidelines, which means that no article about him, no matter how well written, can be suitable for Wikipedia. (2) Even if it were possible to write a suitable article about Josiah Dunbar, this would not be it, because it is written as a glowing account of how wonderful he is; it is not within a thousand miles of being written from a neutral point of view, as needed for a Wikipedia article.
