Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexander Cushing


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was ambiguous. I count 3 clear "deletes", one "delete or merge", one straight "merge", one "keep or merge" and only one "keep as is" (the unsigned edit discounted). While the general concensus seems to be leaning toward a decision that the article should not remain independent, I am going to call this as a "no consensus" decision. My own opinion is that he probably does not meet the recommended criteria WP:BIO. I can't find anything in WP:CORP that would sway the decision, either.

What notability he has appears to be entirely derivative of his founding of the company. As an ordinary editor, I am going to merge and redirect this article to Squaw Valley Ski Resort, the company he founded. That article has plenty of room for expansion. I recommend that Cushing not be broken out into a separate article until the ski resort article gets very large. Rossami (talk) 21:23, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
