[edit] L. L. Nunn

Was tagged for speedy deletion by LambaJan but clearly claims importance, so bringing it to AfD instead to respect LambaJan's wishes. Seems rather notable/encyclopedic to me, however. A previous version of this was deleted for being a copyvio from [1]. howcheng {chat} 06:46, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. TheRingess 06:47, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Eh? I said, "Seems rather notable/encyclopedic to me." howcheng {chat} 07:56, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Something needs to happen. After looking it over again it could possibly become encyclopedic if it:
  1. stops plagurising sections of that bio.
  2. links to company articles, not just colleges. And,
  3. puts a bit of why he's important in the beginning.

That said, there may be a place for him on the Wiki. LambaJan 07:57, 1 January 2006 (UTC) BTW: Thanks for respecting my wishes.

  • Keep. I have rewritten the artilce based on the information provided. It could use some fine tuning from someone with actual knowlege on the subject, but I believe it addresses the issues raised above. The subject is definitely notable and easily meets WP:BIO.

  • Keep, proper article on notable person. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 11:55, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per rewrite. "Nunn financed the world’s first commercial A/C power plant." is sufficient reason for me. - Mgm|(talk) 13:20, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. As an alumnus of Deep Springs and Telluride House, I have tweaked the rewrite. bhami 19:50, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Nunn is well known in some circles, particularly the history of higher education. Plowboylifestyle 21:12, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Removed AfD. LambaJan 21:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Restored the notice. Please don't remove it until the AfD discussion is closed. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 06:39, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
