*'''Keep.''' Appears in the ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''; notable during his time for starting a movement of which a Google search suggests he still remains a figurehead.

Charles Pearce

AfDs for this article:
Charles Pearce (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Pearce doesn't appear to be a notable figure, even within the Victorian anti-vaccination movement, compared to well-documented contemporaries such as William Tebb (whose inclusion I strongly supported) He has only about four lines in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography in the article for his better-known son, the medical astrologer Alfred James Pearce. Also this article has been tagged for sourcing since February, and is well up for review, plus there are signs of WP:SOAP in the use of the selective quotation.
