The result was I have deleted this article, as the notability is marginal, and the subject requests deletion. These two in conjunction would seem to allow us to do the right thing here.. Mercury 13:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Lambton

I declined the speedy deletion request because the subject clearly makes an assertion of notability. However, I don't think that the subject is notable for Wikipedia. The subject is mentioned in a few reliable sources (newspapers), but I fail to see where Lambton has been the main subject of an entire reliable source.

  • This was put up for speedy deletion and declined as notability confirmed. I would agree and would not wish for it to be deleted.Paste (talk) 18:38, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as it's still under construction, per the talk page. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 01:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
    • There's not much more he can add, given the lack of resources on the subject available on the Internet. My point was never about the actual amount of content, but rather the lack of notability per WP:BIO. Nishkid64 (talk) 02:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
    • The article needs to assert notability. Saying it is under construction does not assert notability. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:08, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
