Robert Allison (founder)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The few sentences in the article, which haven't changed meaningfully in eleven years, appear to constitute everything we know about this founder of a township of 1,700, and it all appears to come from a single source. I just don't see this as passing WP:GNG. Mangoe (talk) 19:20, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Menno Township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, the town he is supposed to have founded. SpinningSpark 00:21, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Please read the sole source and see if you still think a merge is reasonable. --Bejnar (talk) 03:16, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Striking my merge suggestion, the sourcing is too thin even for that. If that's all there is in support of this, then delete. SpinningSpark 12:52, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Menno Twp. If this sentence and a half is all we can say of him, he probably doesn't deserve a page, but a redirect is a fair option. ~'[[User:Editorofthewiki|<span

 * Delete. No merge.  He was not the founder of the town.  He died before the township was created.  The sole source says, Robert, Joseph and James Allison, Matthew Kenney, Samuel Gilmore, Hugh McClellan, Henry McConkey, John McDowell, Esq., and John Wilson, Esq., were among the early settlers.  That is the totality of source-material.  The three commissioners who created the township in January 1837 were Thomas I. Postlethwaite, D. R. Reynolds and Robert Miles.  The main mover and shaker who pushed for creation of the township was Mr. Yost King, a Mennonite. There was also a descendant of one of the Allisons named Robert Allison who ran his father's saw mill circa 1886. --Bejnar (talk) 03:16, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The sourcing is far too brief to pass GNG and in any case, he was an early settler not a founder of the township. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:52, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
