Francis Muir
The creation edit said he was a notable usenetter, but there are few of those in reality and his actual notability based on what is written is questionable. He does have a list of publications, but its hard to tell if its enough. Delete as is. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 07:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep -- I agree that fido's publications are largely beside the point warranting his inclusion herein. In fact, I would be hard pressed justifying this action on the basis of any single aspect of his Usenet activities. The best I can do is vouchsafe it by my personal assessment of fido's anthropological interest to any present or future Internet historians. As to finding the basis in what is written, the creation edit is meant as a stub. However, I have attempted to furnish links suitable for further elaboration by better men.

- Delete. Non-notable, for god's sake. rodii 22:20, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. -- JJay 22:44, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Fido has been posting on usenet for eons, or at least 1991 when I started to post. Irina Feeney, 09:35 GMT, 15 December 2005
- Delete I've posted on Usenet since the early '90s too -- where's my article? Every Usenet group has its resident 'personalities,' but they're no more encyclopedic than the characters at your local pub. Perodicticus 11:50, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Do you have a celestial body named after you? () Larvatus 12:19, 15 December 2005 (UTC)larvatus
- If there were a 'local pub characters' category your local's regulars would be appropriately listed there. Irina Feeney, 12:37 GMT, 15 December 2005
- Well put. I think this is a dispositive consideration. Notability reflects its venue. Larvatus 13:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)larvatus
- Keep Delete Silas Mariner? Never! Francis may be a world-class welsher, but he's an institution, of one kind or another. Besides, he owes me money. J. Del Col— Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.30.200.2 (talk • contribs) 15:13, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep most definitely keep ! Francis Muir is certainly notable contributor to rec.arts.books
--Tristes tigres 22:29, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Notable on Usenet back in the days before the internet ruled all. Caerwine Caerwhine 03:17, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- "Keep." He's one of the few intelligent Usenet people left.
- Keep Keep, definitely. I don't recognize half the names in the Usenet People category as currently configured (perhaps the problem upthread is indeed localization), but Francis has been a colorful mainstay for well over a decade. --S. Goetz 19:11, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
