Walter Stevens

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Does not appear to satisfy WP:BIO. Sources seem to be topic of the Mafia in general. Tried to search for this person on google using multiple different search terms, and could only find maybe one article that just mentioned his name in passing  su mn ji m  talk with me·changes 16:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, the article is referenced, the historical topic is not one that a straight Google search will necessarily work for, and there are several Google Books results including some of the already-listed references. --Dhartung | Talk 20:23, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Those books aren't about Walter Stevens, but merely mention him. -- su mn ji m  talk with me·changes 20:27, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mailer Diablo 16:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep, it is well written and sources. Just by mentioning the subject in the books means he was notable enough, and if he was arrested more then 200 times that also adds to his notability.. I really cannot see why this article was even nominated. Callelinea 22:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep iff sources can be found. Bigdaddy1981
