Doug Alker
Not notable and will date DarbyAsh 07:12, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. - DarbyAsh 07:12, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Published author, seems to be a notable public figure. His willingness to date Darby is no reason to delete this article. Pburka 19:55, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Self-published.  I added the information about the book into the article.  I'd like to know if there is any way to get enough verifiable information on him to expand the article further.  Jkelly 22:43, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I suggest that the info in Alkerism should be merged into this article, and Alkerism changed to a redirect. Pburka 01:42, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment There's no reference listed for any of the material at Alkerism. Is any of it verifiable?  Jkelly 02:50, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, chair of the British Deaf Association. Kappa 00:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
