An utterly typical soldier and glass maker with no real claim to notability. At least one of the sources appears to be primary, and the others appear not to be anything but trivial coverage. Cúchullain t/ c 14:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Sources showing are fully adequate to pass GNG for verifiability. Whether the nominator feels this is "utterly typical" or not is neither here nor there, so long as the subject is the object of coverage in multiple, independent, published sources — as this appears to be. The title of the piece needs to be tweaked if kept. Carrite (talk) 00:17, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Appears to meet WP:BASIC per the sources in the article. Links to the sources, if any are available on the internet, would be an improvement. Northamerica1000(talk) 12:02, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Before nominating I looked for all the sources on the internet, and couldn't find any. I'd like to see if there's any significant coverage in these sources, which is more important than being mentioned in multiple sources.--Cúchullain t/ c 13:38, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

FYI - I did a quick check on line and found another secondary source within a minute ... Heritage Glass Museum. And here is another: Gloucester County, New Jersey - History & Genealogy - GLASS & GLASSBORO Jrcrin001 (talk) 15:16, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - In Feb 2011 the question of notability was brought up on the talk page of this article. Talk:Thomas Carpenter (1752-1847) I voted Keep then and I vote Keep now, for the same reasons. How many times do we need to vote on this? Jrcrin001 (talk) 14:42, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
