[edit] James Charles Prevost

non–notable person . — CRAZY`(IN)`SANE 04:33, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I don't think being a British admiral makes him notable enough. Weak keep per Dlyons493. Aplomado - UTC 04:46, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

*Delete, apparently the author just wanted to remove a red link from Fairfax Moresby. NN. -- ReyBrujo 05:27, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

• Changing vote to Keep per Dlyons493. Please add those references to the article, and put as many expand tags to it as possible. -- ReyBrujo 00:39, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, I suppose what is 'notable' depends on the interests of the reader. Consider the hundreds (thousands?) of articles on appalling singers, obscure bands, and forgettable movies in this Wipipedia, also innumerable American football players and other sports people. I read one usertalk who had the ambition to see an article on every major or minor ship in the American Navy. Consult the category 'Royal Navy admirals', over 200 entries, most of whom have done no more than Admiral Prevost. Why pick on him? I hope it is not racial. Are only American themes to be preserved?Ruszewski 07:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep Google seems to show a significant place in Canadian history for him [1], [2], [3] Dlyons493 Talk 09:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, barely asserts notability. --Terence Ong 10:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep as per Terence —Mets501^talk 12:38, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notable enough IMO. --Tone 13:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep and Expand, according to the article he was a British comissioner and admiral. Deleting this article would set a poor precident. Falphin 00:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Ruszewski. --MaNeMeBasat 08:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - notable enough - more detail as per Dlyons' links would be interesting. --HJMG 11:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Dlyons493, appears to be a notable figure in Canadian history. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 22:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
