R. D. Townsend
headmaster, probably unencyclopedic Melaen 18:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * delete while obviously a seriously good headmaster, considering his history, doesn't seem to have done anything else. MNewnham 18:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep and expand. A seriously good headmaster is notable in his profession - if he'd been the captain of three major football clubs he wouldn't be on Afd.    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  21:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Townsend is mentioned on the Sydney Grammar School page and there is no other reason for keeping a separate biography provided by the author. Why is this headmaster any more or less notable than any other? An objective reason is required and more substance to make the article work.  Otherwise, Mr Townsend may as well be relegated to a footnote in the history of the schools at which he taught.   (aeropagitica)   21:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Being a headmaster, no matter how good, does not confer notability. Will information on this person be sought 50 years hence? I think not. (And too bad if it will; there's certainly none given in this article.) D e nni &#9775;  01:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only question in my mind for a stub this short is whether it's expandable (the question raised by Dlyons493).  I've done my best to find some stuff out about this guy and come up blank.  It's not an article as it stands, and it probably can't be expanded in line with WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:CITE.
