[edit] Thomas Berwick

This article does not explain the notability of its subject. That he was mentioned in a book is not enough to show relevance. JDoorjam 02:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Weak keep per below. PJM 02:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Statement of notability now added. Drew (Snottygobble) | Talk 02:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep and block nominator for violation of WP:POINT, as these obviously follow on from the failing AfD of John Warren (convict), which has a clear plurality to keep. Ambi 02:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per Ambi -- Ian ≡ talk 03:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. But someone is going to have to make a disambig page eventually to distinguish this guy from the much better known Thomas Berwick the artist. Crypticfirefly 03:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC) I notice that Berwick's town, Jarrahdale considered him notable enough to mention on their own web page, if not in any detail.

  • Keep per Ambi. Bduke 03:24, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Put into a broader article if possible, delete otherwise, per my comments on John Warren. enochlau (talk) 06:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Ambi. Let's not get into the habit of nominating everything for deletion.Englishrose 08:05, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, being a ex-convict schoolteacher is non-notable, even if it was rare. Plus, 39 of the 9721 convicts actually became schoolteachers, so it is not even that rare. Given the number of people with the job of schoolteacher in the general population, that does not seem like a rate all the different than non-convicts. If the book is notable, an article should be written on it instead. -- Kjkolb 12:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
