The result was Speedy Keep. Ghits are not a reliable indicia for notability of ancient figures, and the fact that substantial information exists regarding this person some 2000 years after he lived is in itself evidence of notability. I recognize that the early closing of this nomination may be controversial, and any editor may revert the closing if the nominating party so requests, but I do not believe that a 5-day debate concerning the proposed deletion of this particular article is necessary.

Possibly not notable enough. Registered only 161 Ghits.   jj137 (Talk) 23:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. The first named deaf person in recorded history? Seems notable. I suppose if you're nominating an article for deletion 60 seconds after it was created, you don't have time to check. Crazysuit 02:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
