William Avery Rockefeller
I don't see anything notable about this man besides his famous son. Triviaa 22:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * very weak keep a borderline case indeed but there might be enough sources to compile something non-trivial and the anecdote about Pulitzer is interesting. But I won't cry if this is deleted especially since maintaining POV will be hard since there's a good chance that sources on the guy will be gossipy in nature.

 * Keep per other articles like this. W.A.'s biography paints a historic perspective on Rockefeller's business and biography that some might search for on wikipedia. Arbusto 02:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Merge to John D. Rockefeller - in the same way as the external article that Arbustoo highlights above (an article which is primarily about the son, not the father - the father's bio being just used as extra contextual detail). Not notable outside the link with his famous son. In terms of his son's article, a brief explanation of his father's life (and the related media interest) would certainly be worthy details Bwithh 02:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Tentative Keep I had a rethink on this and now consider my original note a bit hasty - if the media frenzy can be verified, I think that's sufficient justification in itself for a separate article, and okay, there may be some justification for a subarticle to save space in the main John D Rockefeller article. Who says my heart is made of stone??!?!?!! Bwithh 02:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per Bwithh--Peta 04:28, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
