[edit] Thomas Thirlby
Not notable enough per WP:BIO. This article has been around for years and has not grown much. Gary King (talk) 19:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep—the only bishop of Westminster Abbey. Seems like he's at least somewhat notable. He was one of eleven confessor-bishops imprisoned by the Queen.[1] There seem to be plenty of references about him.—RJH (talk) 20:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. All bishops are notable. Pburka (talk) 21:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. He's in the ODNB. This is a ridiculous nomination, and the WP:EFFORT argument pretty much seals it. --Dhartung | Talk 21:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep per listing in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Isn't the fact that a reliable source has noted him ipso facto evidence of notability? —David Eppstein (talk) 22:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy keep as ridiculous nomination. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
