The subject matter of this article lacks notability. A google search also provides a lack of substantial hits to the above article. S iva1979 Talk to me 13:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless someone finds evidence showing he is of historical interest Antonrojo 14:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I think anyone whose life merits an actual printed book biography is notable enough. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:56, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lenahan absolutely right. `'Mїkka 15:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Lack of substantial hits? Try this one. From the article: Leroux "...had already served as a member of the convention that organized New Mexico Territory." Strong evidence to indicate he was also important in blazing a trail from NM to California. Needs cleanup badly--Ispy1981 16:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Addendum He also has a town in New Mexico named for him: Antoine Leroux, New Mexico.--Ispy1981 16:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong keep, I would think anyone with a town named after him would be very notable. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 17:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, Are we all reading the same thing? No references, no claim to notability.Callelinea 19:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think referencing will be a problem. Like I said, there's a whole book about the guy.  And a quick Google shows plenty of other sources. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  20:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Callelinea, we don't decide based on the state of the article, we decide on the notability of the subject. We're capable of doing our own searching, you know. --Dhartung | Talk 22:07, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article is in a very sorry state at present though. &mdash;Xezbeth 21:09, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable mountain man with 350+ Google Books results. One source there labels him (in context) as Mr. Antoine Leroux, the best qualified man in the world to speak on the subject, (not excepting the renowned Christopher Carson,), which is quite an encomium. Should be easily sourceable. --Dhartung | Talk 22:05, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep No editorializing here. Just a plain old Keep ShoesssS Talk   13:38, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable figure in Arizona history. Chimakwa 01:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Person has a town named after him, a government page describing his importance, and many other things that make him notable. --Hdt83 Chat 04:12, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
