[edit] William Drew Robeson I

from VfD:

Father of someone quite notable (Paul Robeson), but seems to have no notability of his own (at least I don't think being an escaped slave is inherently encyclopedic). Three hits. Niteowlneils 04:52, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, genealogy. Wyss 06:01, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable person. --Viriditas | Talk 06:47, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Fascinating article, quite notable enough IMO. Andrewa 10:17, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep; I agree. Samaritan 10:51, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Does not seem notable enough, to be honest, but it's pretty thorough and well-written, and I'd hate to see it deleted...no vote. Everyking 12:02, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Seems vaguely notable. Sentiment similar to that of Everyking. --JuntungWu 12:59, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep notable enough and a good article. --Deathphoenix 15:28, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Despite being a very well-written biography, I don't think he meets the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies. Wikipedia is not a genealogical record. Would this be appropriate to transwiki to Wikibooks? Rossami (talk) 23:04, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable in and of himself. RickK 00:19, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, while Paul Robeson is notable, his father was not. It also looks like geneaology. Megan1967 00:42, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable Philip 03:12, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep seems to me that someone who actually travelled on the Underground railroad is more notable than the Bajoran wormhole. well written and harmless article 66.245.209.124 07:45, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)Pedant
  • Keep or merge to Paul Robeson, but don't lose this information. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:14, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This article is an example of why 'notability' still isn't actually a listed criterion for deletion - David Gerard 20:07, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep it and do not merge. —RaD Man (talk) 23:29, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non notable, no matter whose father he is. And Gates' father could be here as well. JoaoRicardo 03:21, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
