[edit] Harry Olivieri

The article for Pat's Steaks already provides the history of Mr. Olivieri and his contribution to the development of the cheesesteak Konczewski 18:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Pat's Steaks Keep per Capitalistroadster's expansion. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 18:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. His death has been widely reported over the past few days and there is enough material available to write a proper biography. There are 173 Google News stories about him see [1].

The Washington Post [2], Los Angeles Times, [3] and the New York Times [4] have all reported his death so there is enough material for a standalone article. Redirect as a second best option. Capitalistroadster 21:01, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Pat's Steaks unless article is expanded and sourced. Very good job on the rewrite/expansion, Keep. tmopkisn ^tlka 21:04, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand to make this more encyclopedic, or redirect to Pat's Steaks. I'm neutral as to what should be done with the article, but it should be a bluelink in one form or another, as the subject is notable per WP:BIO. --Kinu ^t/_c 23:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• I have expanded the article with sources. Capitalistroadster 10:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, don't merge, per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:01, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• note on obituaries cited--every single one of them seems to be a rewrite of the original Philadelphia Daily news obit. So it's the the same original source with no new research. I'm changing my original request to delete to merge with Pat's Steaks article.Konczewski 11:12, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Even if that's so, the wide range of publication indicates that he was important far beyond Philly. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Okay, then how do I unrequest this article for deletion? Konczewski 12:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
      • It doesn't look like anyone's said delete, so you should be able to strike your vote out with <s></s> around your original nomination, and an admin will come and close it out. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
        • Done. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this discussion. Konczewski 14:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
    • The Philadephia Inquirer article referenced in the article is substantially different to the Philadelphia Daily News. Capitalistroadster 18:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
      • I retract my earlier comment about the obits. It appears in the past few days the non-Philly papers have done some research. I'm still confused as to why so many of them have different answers for the original price of a cheesesteak. I've seen quotes from 5 to 25 cents.Konczewski 19:12, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Now that the article is nicely expanded: Keep-Zeno Izen 01:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
