Stafford Heginbotham

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Having read through the article, the main subject is the Bradford City stadium fire, and little else substantial to provide notability. This is a case of WP:BIO1E, as Heginbotham was known for little else other than the fire and related inquiry. Primefac (talk) 10:54, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment for the record, the book written by one of the survivors (which is what the majority of the article is based on) came out one day after this article was started. Primefac (talk) 11:01, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment It's not uncommon for new books to prompt articles is it? There have been quite a number of authors who have expanded the article. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:10, 12 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep He was also the founder of a toy company and the chairman of Bradford football club for some years. I note that the two current co-chairmen of that club both have articles, even though one at least has done little else. Even without the fire, he would pass WP:GNG.

 * Keep Agree, he meets the GNG. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:04, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Chairmen of British league football clubs have long been considered inherently notable. The page is well referenced. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 13:14, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep As one of the main contributors to the page I can also state that there is more information to be added with regards his time as Chairman of Bradford City which he was on a number of occasions, I will endeavour to flesh this out despite User:Overagainst attempts to not want a rounded view of Stafford Heginbotham (RedJulianG40 (talk) 10:51, 13 May 2015 (UTC))
 * Can we have a SnowKeep on this please? Philafrenzy (talk) 10:53, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
