[edit] John Bolling

Wikipedia is NOT a geneaology project. Bio of ordinary American colonial gentleman, who died long before the American Revolutionary War was even a concept. Calton | Talk 07:56, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep, close relative of notable people (and not notable as in movie stars- notable as in having a movie made about you 300 years after you died). --Rory096 14:43, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. State legislator, linked to famous people. RGTraynor 15:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. This belongs on someone's genealogy page. Eusebeus 16:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep Ignoring the genealogy (which adds a useful gloss to the article), there is enough of a kernel for an article based on this man's own life, rather than the lives of his relatives. Fluit 17:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as colonial legislator. NickelShoe (Talk) 18:07, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• keep. Actual historical information. It boggles the mind why anyone would list this for deletion. For great justice. 18:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Agree with Fluit's reasoning; ignoring the genealogy it is a stub that should be expanded. Accurizer 19:07, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (I was the creator of it) I am working on related articles and expect to be able to expand the information about his life and work. Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 19:51, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per RGTraynor Imarek 21:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable enough to be remembered 300 years after he died. BTW, is there a geneaology wiki? --Tbeatty 22:47, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Nickel. YellowPigNowNow 23:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 00:04, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
