Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter De Garmo


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   keep. As the article has been tremendously improved since the nomination and notability is well-established, there isn't a snowball's chance of this being deleted. Therefore, as Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, this is being closed. Also the nominator is gently cautioned about rapid AfDing, as this article was sent to AfD less than three hours after its creation - and within two hours after its nomination article improvements by the article creator had established notability.

Walter De Garmo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No significant indication of notability per WP:GNG. ColonelHenry (talk) 01:12, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Why isn't his having been a prominent architect in Miami an indication of notability? Have you tried clicking on the "books" link in your nomination? Have you done any searches for sources? Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:20, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, not sure about this nomination. It looks like there were books written about him - The Last Eclectics: Walter De Garmo and Richard Kiehnel in South Florida. He seems to have designed some fairly iconic buildings and features and trained others (like Marion Manley) who in turn designed iconic buildings and features. Thoughts Colonel? My inclination would be to call for this to be withdrawn but if it isn't, keep. Stalwart 111  01:52, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
