Earl Carter

The neutral encyclopedia of notable people

Template:Stub

I need to be transparent about a significant issue with this request. The name "Earl Carter" is a disambiguation — it refers to multiple different people, and the research provided does not give sufficient sourced material about any single notable "Earl Carter" to write a comprehensive 1,200+ word biographical article that meets the quality and sourcing standards required.

The research results include:

1. **James Earl Carter Jr. (Jimmy Carter)** — the 39th President of the United States. He is universally known as "Jimmy Carter," not "Earl Carter," and already has extensive biographical coverage under that name. 2. **Earl "Many Skins" Carter** (1941–2021) — a Lumbee Tribe member from North Carolina, known from a single obituary source. 3. **Julius Earl Carter** (1941–2025) — from Reidsville, North Carolina, known from a single obituary source. 4. **Earl Carter** (d. 2025) — from Pelham, Alabama, known from a single obituary source. 5. **Oscar Earl Carter III** (1944–2025) — from New Orleans, known from a single obituary source.

None of these individuals (aside from Jimmy Carter, who is properly covered under his own name) have sufficient sourced material to support a 1,200-word encyclopedic biography. Writing such an article would require fabricating content, which violates the style guide's core principle: "All factual claims must be sourced. Only state facts you can attribute to the provided research."

    • Recommendation:** If the intended subject is **Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter Jr.)**, the article should be created under "Jimmy Carter" rather than "Earl Carter." If the intended subject is **Earl Leroy Carter Sr.** (Jimmy Carter's father, a Georgia businessman and state legislator), additional research would need to be provided, as none of the current sources contain biographical information about him. If a different "Earl Carter" is intended, please provide additional sourced material so a factual article can be written.

I would rather decline to produce an article than fabricate one. Please clarify the intended subject or provide additional sources, and I will produce a full biographical article.
