Erivan Haub


This article has been tagged with importance since January 30. It started out as non-notable, and it still is non-notable. I move to delete this page. Diez2 00:55, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Very strong Keep- Highly notable. Nileena joseph (Talk 16:47, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. I actually knew his name (as the owner of the A&P chain) independent of this article, which I must have read in published sources. --Lambiam Talk  02:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I strongly disagree with the view that wealth is inherently notable. Notability arises from actions, not accidents of birth. He was born into the business (he was put on the board at the age of 20, which doesn't suggest he worked his way up the hard way), and has simply lived with it. If he has done something notable let's hear about it, but on the basis of this entry he has done nothing that another businessman wouldn't also have done. I also fail to understand how he can have been awarded the DSC in 2004: no military career is noted. With this in mind, I vote to Delete. I also suggest we extend the voting on this one, and actively seek broader input; I feel the larger question of whether wealth alone is notable is worth broader debate, and this looks like a good test case.
