The result of the debate was no consensus. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 08:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC). I've done a bit of research into this fellow in hopes of expanding the article to show some sort of notability. I gave a great deal of weight to User:Wackymacs' argument that he was featured in the 1907 Nuttall Encyclopedia when closing this one, but it turns out that the Nuttall Encyclopedia Clark is not our fellow at all. So, my apologies for the error, it looks like it's a deleter after all. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 08:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

• Yo man, delete this yeoman (per: WP:BIO). Dbtfz (talk - contribs) 16:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand This is in the 1907 Nuttall Encyclopedia, seems to have some form of notability - just needs expanding. — Wackymacs 19:15, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Merchbow 19:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• No vote but can someone explain why this apparent genealogy stub is notable for an encyclopaedia -- Simon Cursitor 20:47, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless there's more that can be said about him. Yeoman basically means "medieval middle-class farmer dude". Some were notable, the vast majority aren't. Just because a subject is centuries old doesn't automatically make it notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:19, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
