[edit] Doug Peacock

Delete: Gushing POV, questionable notability. Gaius Cornelius 12:29, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Non-notable, extremely POV, reads like an advertisement, even some crystal ball. Take your pick. --Kinu 17:57, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Well-known as author per Google and Google Books search. Somewhat notable as naturalist and as basis for character in quite-influential book The Monkey Wrench Gang. Current version of article is too (auto)biographical and full of ... I hate typing this ... peacock_terms. Barno 19:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Obvious keep. If "gushing POV" were a standard, the articles on Celine Dion, Gwen Stefani, and Christina Aguilera would have been deleted long ago. Monicasdude 20:06, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. This currently looks like bumpf to promote his current book so it can lose the peacock phrases. Nevertheless, this man is notable enough in my book. Over 10000 hits through Google with early results about him including verifiable sources see [1]. The University of Texas has a collection of his papers see [2] Six pages of results in Google Books see [3]. Also in Google scholar [4] . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Capitalistroadster (talk • contribs)
  • Definite keep. Additional references added establish meeting criteria for authors. —ERcheck @ 21:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
