[edit] General John Jacob

unverifiable, source comes from a geocities site, original poster shares name of topic ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 13:48, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

• keep. Please do not use the word "unverifiable" in AFD nominations unless you have actually made an effort to verify the content. This person has an article in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Other than that, the author of this bio is presumably identical wth the author of the website, and his relationship with somebody who died in 1858 is not a big deal (just make sure the article is and remains NPOV.) u p p l a n d 14:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Everyone in the DNB should have a wikipedia article. Osomec 19:26, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There was a Jacob's Horse ([1]) and a Jacob's Rifles ([2]) in the British Indian Army. His entry in the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica is located here [3]. Should be wikified and moved to John Jacob (soldier). SoLando (Talk) 23:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
