[edit] Steven Anthony Gerard Thorn

Obit for a person of no demonstrated notability. Delete --Peta 10:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Do Not Delete He was ranked amongst the top three City city sellers before retiring at age 33. There is some evidence The Times was considering an obituary, though this remains unconfirmed. He also captained a Cambridge varsity team. Nevertheless obituary format is not best and it should be edited, principallly by removing opinion and sentimentality. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.220.102.21 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 6 Sep 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Article is copyvio from a weblog written by the contributor. I'm sorry he's dead, too, but WP is not a place for memorials per WP:NOT. Only ONE distinct Ghit, the aforementioned weblog. Six general Google hits, which bespeaks to notability. Lack of documentation is also failure of WP:V, and article further appears to be original research. Tychocat 10:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

While he appears nn, I'm not sure that text added from a blog by the writer of that blog is against WP:Copyright. Hornplease 06:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I expect to err on the side of caution, pending expert advice. Tychocat 04:27, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
