Philip Bainbridge (died 1918)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Mentioned in passing (twice in the same quote reused in two different books, once in a footnote). An example of someone in the periphery of notable people, who might have been notable if he hadn't been killed in the war. But who, sadly, isn't notable. Fram (talk) 10:00, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - He might have become notable had he lived; passing reference.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 13:51, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Quite a bit of hits for this guy. Seems he was the lover of more notable artists, and a poet in his own right (both of pornographic ballads (less published) and of "If I should die" which is included in many compendiums of period poetry). Some sources: .Icewhiz (talk) 13:56, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If of course both the family name and the year of birth in the article don't match the actual name and year, it becomes hard to find the right information... Even so, notability looks borderline to me (one poem which has been republished two or three times), so I'll leave the AfD open, but at least we now have the right information to base this discussion on, thanks!

 * Seems both spellings are actually used here. I went by the death date which I thought would be included in most sources and was obviously not wrong (birth dates are often funkier). This source - - does discuss him in relation to C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Wilfred Owen (and there are a few others that do - though with less in-book text). His "If I should die" poem is covered/included in quite a few sources. I'm guessing the pornographic ballads are probably covered - but in a more specialist context. So to summarize - we have a minor artist (with some coverage as such) who is also covered as the lover/friend of (at least two) more significant fellows. WP:NOTPAPER applies here - this wouldn't be a vital article by any means, but he is someone it would make sense to look up who is covered in a few different angles in various sources.Icewhiz (talk) 14:31, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
