[edit] Albert Henry

Albert Henry (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article prodded for for notability. Since it appears to assert notability I removed the prod and am submitting it here for a consensus. Ron Ritzman 07:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Appears to be notable individual in Cook Islands politics albeit article is thin as to content. Difficulty is that for the Cook Islands as a nation, the impact of such an individual within the region, let alone the world (and therefore the popular media) is always going to be limited. That said, just because Western news wires do not pick up on the stories, that is not to say they do not have an impact on the local populace. I suspect he is indeed notable or notorious(?) in the Cook Islands and would recommend keeping the article in the hope regional editors will pick up the baton.Dick G 08:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Albert Royle Henry (also known localy as Arapati (Albert) Henry) is important in modern Cook Islands history, and can be considered as the father of this young nation. He probably represents for Cook Islanders, what Kamisese Mara was for Fidjians.Nevers
  • Keep - He used to be a influential political figure and a criminal at it, there must be some references out there that can expand this. - Caribbean~H.Q. 10:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I know it's odd for the nominator to vote "keep" but the first few arguments are persuasive. --Ron Ritzman 13:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
In that case, you might want to strike your nomination since nobody else has said to delete the article, and this can now be withdrawn. `FrozenPurpleCube 16:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
