Doar Family
This article most certainly does cite refernces. And this family contributed a great deal to history in early America.

Delete as per WP:NOTE; also unreferenced. --  Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  14:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC) 
 * Comment. Unsure about this one, but at the moment it fails WP:V and so I would be more in favour of a delete unless anyone can improve this with reliable sources.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 15:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. As a member of WikiProject Anthroponymy I started trying to rescue this as a surname article, but really it's not, and its own declared source is stated to be private. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:28, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep; if someone works with the new user, I think it can be rescued and a valuable new user gained in the process. John Vandenberg (talk) 20:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JERRY talk contribs 05:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep, a quick Google search shows that the family certainly existed and the claims in the article seem to be plausible. As an aside, I think that Wikipedia could really use more articles on notable families and geneologies.  Lankiveil (complaints 06:23, 9 February 2008 (UTC).
 * Keep I think such articles make sense fairly generally. In this case certainly, given the family ownership of places on the national register--places which would each unquestionably justify an individual article. Even their family cemetery is on the register. DGG (talk) 20:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
