Rufus Hussey

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:BIO. Yes, he was on Carson, but that would fall under WP:ONEEVENT. -Lilac Soul (Talk • Contribs) 12:28, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes he was on Carson, but this happened because of his notability, not vice versa. Lorem Ip (talk) 15:52, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

 * delete, probably GNews's date range search isn't working quite right but the only reference I can find before 1986 is a very short color piece in the Florence/Sheffield/Tuscumbia/Muscle Shoals regional edition of the Times Daily of Florence, Alabama. There are only a handful of post-1986 hits, and a fair number of those are either calendar announcements or local obituaries. This is something of a fifteen minutes of notability situation, and it's clear that Carson didn't have him on because he was famous. Mangoe (talk) 17:08, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Topic passes WP:BASIC, in which multiple independent sources may be combined to establish notability. I added more more reliable sources to the article:
 * (January 23, 1986.) "Rufus Hussey." Gettysburg times.
 * Calhoun, Frances (July 4, 1986.) "Reunion Has Old-Fashioned Fun." The Dispatch.
 * Williams, Jason (September 30, 1994.) "They Haven't Forgotten the Beanshooter Man." News & Record.
 * (February 29, 1984.) "Man Tells Slingshot Tale." Times Daily.

 * Keep Ample coverage in reliable sources found, per  D r e a m Focus  and I agree. --DThomsen8 (talk) 02:58, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep It needs a rewrite, I myself do not know enough on the person to contribute to it, but it appears quite salvagable. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 21:23, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Notethey did not include many references, but have many external links, both in and out of the correct section, Ill see if I can fix that. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 21:23, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry they are references, not external links, they did a good job on that. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 21:26, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
