The result was   speedy keep. No rationale for deletion and no consensus to delete. Possible disruptive AfD nomination since it was pointed out that the nominator was the substantial contributer to the article. In terms of notability, the subject is highly notable and there really is no consensus to delete. (non-administrative closure) -- RyRy  ( talk ) 02:27, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Strong Keep hard to see how the founder of LL Bean is not notable (maybe nominate Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone next). Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 17:59, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep I see a ton of sources, and I fail to see how the founder of a company as notable as LL Bean is non-notable. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!) 18:20, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep of course, by reason of the fact that no reasoning is necessary to have an article on the founder of L.L.Bean. Frank  |  talk  18:27, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment in making some grammatical improvements to the article I was surprised to find that the nominator was also the principle editor of this article. I am not sure why that editor now reckons that the subject is now non-notable. Suspected disruptive AfD. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 21:35, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
