non-notable religious leader per WP:BIO Gary King (talk) 20:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Meets the basic criteria of WP:BIO, as he has been talked about in multiple reliable sources, eg [1] (halfway down the page) [2] and [3]. His grave is includedin the National Register of Historic Places, which also gives him notability. Bláthnaid 20:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Office of Chief Justice of a nation is a notable positionJQ (talk) 20:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep meets the general notability criteria, 2 sources already referenced in article, Bláthnaid found an additional two. Note that notability comes as from being one of the leaders of the Cherokees during the Trail of Tears not from being a "religious leader".

  • Keep, key figure during important historical events. Why would his grave be on the National Register if he weren't important? Nominators should be more cognizant of such indicators even in the absence of sources. --Dhartung | Talk 21:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep In this case, the nominator should have done some more research before writing this person off as a non-notable religious leader. Among the Cherokee Indians, he was rather prominent. Mandsford (talk) 22:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
