[edit] Rebecca Rawson

Nom (& vote Del on) this tragic figure whose only apparent notablility is being exploited as a model for a forgotten novel's heroine. --Jerzy·t 05:42, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Very early American settlers and 17th-century Bostonians are inherently notable. Emiao 06:01, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I am not sure what logic was used to reach this conclusion, but since so many users have since hopped on the bandwagon I guess there must be something there. Indrian 03:41, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Appears to be notable. JamesBurns 06:51, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable. Kappa 07:17, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per all of the above. - DS1953 14:45, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Emiao. carmeld1 04:33, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Agree with Jerzy. Early American settlers are not inherently notable, even if they inspired a forgotten potboiler. The idea of creating an individual article for thousands anonymous 16th century dirt scratchers is just absurd. This belongs in an article for the novel at best. Gamaliel 03:47, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
