[edit] Joe Cury

Comment: This page was listed for speedy deletion as nn-bio. First pass, it would appear that would be the case. However, I found a reference to this individual at [1] (search for name). Again, at first glance it would be easy to think this person is non-notable. Afterall, he's just a grocery store owner. But, take this in the context of a series of events from 30 years ago. As a leader of opposition against a major project, he may have been frequently in the news at the time, and certainly to the region he was probably quite notable. This is difficult to verify today, since those news items would not be on the web. So, I'm bringing this to AfD rather than speedy delete, to allow for comment. --Durin 15:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep I'm inclined to agree with Durin - good researching. I know nothing about this but it seems like something that may be notable. MLA 16:09, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Dames Point Bridge. Ewlyahoocom 17:30, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• ? I honestly don't know whether to delete or keep. We've now got proof this figure is notable, but I feel it would be very hard for this to be a high-standard article considering there are so few sources of information. J.J.Sagnella 19:23, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Made my Mind up- Merge J.J.Sagnella 08:49, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge the relevant portion of the article with Dames Point Bridge. The basis of this article comes from a local club's publication, so he is not notable on his own. Cdcon 22:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: I'm not wedded to it, but there's enough material to warrant an article on the man. --Durin 22:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
