Temple Hardy
This article, as far as I can tell, fails WP:HOLE. I can't tell why we need an article about a minor British captain. Thanks, Luc "Somethingorother" French 14:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn; the article now clearly fufills WP:HOLE. Thanks, Luc "Somethingorother" French 21:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm not sure whether to vote delete or keep, because it sounds like it is written about a man of some importance. The article should be written by Wikiproject Biographies. Alan Talk  -  Contributions  19:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep well researched article. Wikipedia has no temporal bias or POV. If he was notable in 1795 then he is notable. Besides, having six www references 200 years after one's death is quite good for a "nobody". -- Petri Krohn 01:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - individual is notable as per above. Maybe only third- or fourth-level notability, but notable enough for an article. Badbilltucker 19:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above comments. RFerreira 22:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This isn't really what WP:HOLE is for, it's a disorganised but informative article about a person who was quite famous at the time and is still of interest to people who are interested in 18th century naval history. WP:HOLE is for one line stubs about irrelevant people.--Jackyd101 11:04, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
