Isaac Trumbo

 * – ( View AfD View log )

nothing establishes claimed notability or even really why he is a person of interest from this era Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 06:00, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. As stated in the article, he was considered to be a significant figure in Utah's unusually contentious and drawn-out statehood efforts.  The sources currently cited in the article are skimpy, but Google Books turns up hundreds of hits that cite his importance, and Google Scholar turns up a 1973 article in the Utah Historical Quarterly that goes into considerable detail about him.  Admittedly he's no Brigham Young notability-wise, but still seems like a legitimate subject of interest in the context of Utah history.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If you can fold that into the article, I would be happy to withdraw. As is, it looks just like a name pulled from a who's-who with a cool pic.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:26, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Er, unfortunately, now that you brought it up and I looked at it more closely, the picture that was in the article was evidently the wrong Isaac, shorthand inventor Isaac Pitman. There is a photo of beardless Isaac Trumbo at the Utah state history website, and it's perhaps public domain because of its age, so maybe we can add that one instead, if Wikipedia guidelines permit.  I did add the reference to the article about him.-Arxiloxos (talk) 17:30, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
