Eli Jones

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable (ghits for "Eli Jones" cancer = <600 [It's a somewhat common name, so some distinguisher was needed]), article seems written solely to push a POV, and none of the sources used are reliable. Adam Cuerden talk 18:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, there is significant coverage found through Google Books. Famous within homeopathy, somewhat of a precursor of Andrew Weil (although I have more respect for Weil scientifically). --Dhartung | Talk 19:52, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Do any of those 13 books actually cover him in any significant way? The quotes shown are just him being mentioned in passing, and a few one-sentence comments from books of no particular notability aren't really enough to establish notability. Adam Cuerden talk 20:34, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, several of them do, although I haven't looked at all of them. In any case, they make non-trivial assertions of notability for him. --Dhartung | Talk 22:11, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dhartung. Seems pretty notable to me. --Evb-wiki 20:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - seems notable to me (better google books links. On a slighly relevant note, I think we should be a little more careful of deleting entries from before the modern media era, notability wasn't as visible then as now. -- Steve Hart 21:50, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
