Jeremy Adams

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable person. Poorly written article that cites no reliable sources. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:17, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 *  Delete  While this gentleman may be of interest from a purely genealogical point of view, nothing stands out in his biography that confers sufficient notability to appear in an encyclopedia. Safiel (talk) 20:33, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-notable individual without significant coverage in reliable sources; see #2, "Genealogical entries," at WP:NOTDIRECTORY. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 06:50, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 *  Delete Comment per Roscelese  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  07:05, 29 January 2012 (UTC) I'm prepared now to give the editor more time to improve. I don't think it's at the notability line yet, but it's not hopeless  Jimfbleak  -  talk to me?  06:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article is cited, relevant, and just needed a little work. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 04:59, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * REQUEST for speedy keep - The article now how 5 valid sources (including two different newspapers) and an external link. This is a founder of the Colony of Connecticut, the City of Hartford and the town of Colchester, Connecticut that was also probably involved in the incident of hiding the Colonial Charter in the Charter Oak tree. He most certainlyl passes the notability sniff test. Thanks & Best, Markvs88 (talk) 15:07, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose speedy keep, but changing my opinion to weak keep  In light of additional material, the individual does seem now to barely squeeze past the notability threshold. However, I would insist the AfD go the full week, unless the nominator and the others who voted delete change their votes. Safiel (talk) 16:56, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment by article creator Hi All, Jeremy Adams is the original founder of Colchester, Connecticut (an American town with more than 15,000 residents, and the 57th best place to live in the country (according to CNN 2005). He was in the original company (the Hooker company) that founded Hartford, Connecticut. He has had a mountain ridge, and a river named after him (in Connecticut). He was the owner of the Inn - which was also used as the court - where the world's first written constitution -- may have been written (sniff, sniff, just kidding hahaha)....Wikipedia was founded upon the notion of collecting all human knowledge" in one place (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c9mRKFy5fU&feature=plcp&context=C368c497UDOEgsToPDskJD61wnFdj33Oz5oidebUfV). I need additional time to improve this article (please), as I just discovered Jeremy a few days ago, and I am certain that this subject can be improved upon... and at some point may even be interesting!  (please give me a break, I am brand new to the entire Wikipedia process) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mormonfaith101 (talk • contribs) 19:30, January 31, 2012‎ (UTC-5)

 * Keep. I've done significant work on cleaning and formatting this article. I removed the hobby genealogist's family trees, reformatted gbook refs, and added an infobox. The number of references are significant for an individual that lived 400 years ago. He is the documented founder and proprietor of Hartford and Colchester. I recognize the asserted significance and notability supported through reliable and independent sources. Recommend retaining the article in accordance with the general notability guidelines. Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 03:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Changing from weak keep to keep. Article looks to be in decent shape now and sufficient notability has been shown. Safiel (talk) 23:11, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
