Non-notable. Results 1 - 2 of about 3 for +button +"Aaron Peasley". Delete. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 07:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Interesting, I guess, but Delete. JHMM13 08:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems to definetaly exist, and gets a few more hits under the name "A.M. Peasley". About as obscure a topic as you can get, but certainly of interest to the button collecting crowd. - SimonP 15:05, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment (not a personal attack): Where does one draw the line? I hate to compare everything to Leeroy Jenkins in terms of notability, but... it's certainly tempting. In any case, if kept, this should be moved to the name under which Mr. Peasley is least obscure best known, but my opinion on the matter is yet unchanged. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 15:28, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
    • This is always a difficult question, but even 15 Google hits isn't bad for someone who died in 1836. - SimonP 20:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep as having historical importance. 1) Web pages weren't about in 1836, so WP:WEB shouldn't directly apply. 2) It makes valid assertions to notoriety as being one of the world's leading manufacturers of buttons. 3) The web page linked [1] establishes and verifies this assertion.

• Keep. SimonP's research did the trick. HackJandy 22:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I thought the article by itself asserted, and proved, notoriety. Didn't really need additional research. That's my opinion though. Zordrac 22:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I've added more information about him (he was more than just a button maker) and a couple of references. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 00:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
