John William Gibson
This person seems non-notable as far as I can tell he just seems like a member of the communist party but didn't do anything notable - objections were raised during the preposed deletion process SirGrant 21:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This Google search brings up the wikipedia page and two copies of an obituary --Wafulz 21:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BIO and WP:V. I can't find any reliable or conclusive evidence that he founded either of the two societies the article credits him with.  Srose   (talk)  21:32, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I would like to note that I believe the person who brought up the objections to this article being deleted is a sockpuppet of the origional creater of the article. If you check  and  their contributions are very similar as they work on nearly the exact same set of articles.  While there is no official policy against sockpuppetry I would just like it to be noted that I believe it's a possibility.  SirGrant 21:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. Strongest assertion of notability is the founding of the friendship societies with the DDR and the Soviet Union, but I don't see anything to suggest that those societies are notable. Therefore, Gibson is non-notable by extension. —C.Fred (talk) 23:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. If we had an article for every random British communist... we'll that's just to horrible to contemplate. Legis 16:24, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
