'not notable'
Note that this nomination is completed on behalf of 88.104.26.129 who is unable to complete the nomination due to being an IP. See Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#John_Shand Stuartyeates (talk) 08:33, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Keep; ridiculous nomination, given that the nominator knows that he has a detailed entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography and still continued pressing at WP:AN for this deletion nomination to be filed. Nyttend (talk) 11:14, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Comment - I have re-opened this AFD after it was closed by non-admin Colonel Warden (talk · contribs). I have no opinion one way or the other - but you cannot have a 'SNOW speedy keep' after one !vote. GiantSnowman 12:27, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- WP:SNOW states that editors are "encouraged to exercise common sense and avoid pointy, bureaucratic behavior". It already seemed quite apparent that there was not a "snowball's chance in hell" that this article would be deleted. Even giant snowmen stand no chance of prevailing here. Warden (talk) 12:33, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- An editor has raised a concern about the notability of this article, valid or not. Let's allow for further discussion and comments before we close it off so suddenly. GiantSnowman 12:36, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed. Show me a stack of Keep !votes and you have an argument for SNOW. One Keep four hours in is not sufficient. UltraExactZZ ~ Did 12:47, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Keep - the NZ DNB entry should be sufficient evidence of notability. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:55, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Keep, as above.TheLongTone (talk) 13:54, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Keep - push one more on to the stack, then. Subject has sufficient notability. This should close per WP:SNOW. Honestly, Stuart, we are not obliged to file AFDs for IPs if we don't believe in them. There is a reason why IPs can't start AFDs of their own, and this should be a prime example. Clearly the nominator at best does not understand Misplaced Pages:Notability, at worst is just trolling. --GRuban (talk) 13:57, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:GNG and WP:SNOW - looks like a frivolous nomination. Peter James (talk) 14:58, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
