Weak Delete I'm not sure how notable the topic is. Cssiitcic (talk) 17:36, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep I find some book results that all seem to mention this person here. Article needs citations and some work, but I don't think it fails WP:N. The   Seeker 4   Talk  18:09, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep There seem to be enough sources to build a good article, and the subject is notable enough for Oxford Biography, and probably notable enough for us. Gigs (talk) 20:29, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep We should always cover material already in other noteworthy encyclopedia-like publications like the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Also, when you're not sure if someone is notable enough, you should at the very least try a Google search or make some other attempt to find out. - Mgm|(talk) 09:58, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep An article in ODNB, as in any other selective national biography, is definitive evidence of notability.  If you like the GNG,   think of it as one ultra-reliable source. DGG (talk) 22:37, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
