[edit] Jack Beddington

Delete - Notability not established. Mais oui! 22:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Sounds interesting, he googles and there are portraits of him at the British National Portrait Gallery, which as our article says, selects "on the basis of the significance of the sitter". Sumahoy 03:23, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

• "Sounds interesting" and "he googles" are not listed as biog notability criteria; and WP:CITE makes it crystal clear that we cannot use Wikipedia as a source. --Mais oui! 05:51, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. "Beddington, John Louis [Jack] (1893–1959), publicity manager" has an article in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. u p p l a n d 07:05, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Sumahoy. Note, please, "he googles" is, actually, "listed as biog notability criteria", as: "Does the subject get lots of distinguishable hits on Google or another well known search mechanism?". The citations seem to be reliable and important ones in the history of art and advertising. I think nominator has good intentions, but should be more careful with deletion nominations that a casual Google test can show are notable. AnonEMouse 16:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
