Eomer
Not notable, only claims to notability are distant relationships to other people. May even be a hoax because I doubt it's possible to prove who a person's 44th great-grandfather is.--Carabinieri 14:39, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment, true, this person is not very notable; however, in may be possible to prove direct decendency from this person... the Brits are big on family trees, especially from royalty and the Churchhills have been around for a long time...HoratioVitero 17:02, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It's a spin-off from the article of Mercia, I believe - which is very adequately sourced. This seems to give that the information on Eomer comes from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Not quite sure what to do with this, to be honest...I agree that there's little more to be said on the person, but at the same time he seems notable enough.

 * Keep. This person is probably the sourcve for the name of a major fictional character. DES (talk) 23:21, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - the article is part of the history of the Kings of Mercia; User:Merovingian is a solid editor with close to 12,000 edits - it strikes me as rather a stretch to accuse him of a hoax is a little over the top. Anyone about whom records have been preserved from the earliest days of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Britain stikes me as a notable person.  Please spend five minutes figuring out the context of an article before nominating it for deletion!  Guettarda 01:51, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as valid historical bio-stub. -- MCB 08:24, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I think we should show mercia and keep this historical figure. Vizjim 14:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep every named person from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. And beat Vizjim with a wet noodle. Dsmdgold 04:30, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
