[edit] Henry Stafford Brockman

Fails WP:BIO. Seems to be yet another part of the Brockman genealogy project (which of course Wikipedia is not. 4 other similar articles were recently deleted via AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Brockman Esq b1626, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ralph Drake-Brockman, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Brockman Esq. and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Brockman Esq.

Comment sure. A redirect is the right compromise. Actually I feel stupid that I did not simply avoid the AfD and redirect myself instead. But too late now, right? Pascal.Tesson 19:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Any naval officer of flag rank is notable. In addition, Brockman was chief engineer of Devonport Dockyard and then Portsmouth Dockyard (the Royal Navy's two largest bases) for a total of eleven years, including throughout the Second World War. Officers in much less important positions have articles on Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp 22:34, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep I'm not sure that we should keep every admiral but the postings Necrothesp listed seem notable. Information on them should be sourced and added to the article. Eluchil404 20:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
