[edit] Hank Bergman

The result was Keep. Non-admin closure. Normally I would recommend speedy keep, but there are too many improper AfD nominations from the same author. They should be listed in one AfD. MrPrada (talk) 08:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. A non notable boxer. The article seems to be created by a personal admirer with unreferenced biased information. (Marty Rockatansky (talk) 08:48, 17 March 2008 (UTC))
  • Keep, obviously per refs in article. 16 tertiary and 2 secondary sources are more then enough for notability and verifiability. Also, there is no justification for the AfD, speedy close unless the nominator can provide a reason why it should go. MrPrada (talk) 07:38, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. THIS ARTICLE SHOULDN'T BE DELETED! This article has nothing really to do with being a famous boxer. It's about a Baltimore, Maryland war hero who happened to be an amateur boxer. If anything, if the fact that Bergman wasn't a famous boxer, just delete that category from his article, but don't delete the whole thing. Bergman is a notable person from the Maryland area & his military service to his country is something not easily dismissed. This article has support from references such as Soldier of Fortune Magazine, The Evening Sun, and the Miami Herald; all respected publications:Legwarmers1980 (talk) 03:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, subject appears to be notable (based on the sources given in the article) in his own right, regardless of whether he's notable as a boxer. Scog (talk) 07:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
