• article requires some argumentative rework but deletion isn't required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FulltimeH (talk • contribs) 20:22, 22 February 2011 (UTC) — FulltimeH (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Can anyone tell me how to make it less of an essay or what specifically to re-work? Is it not footnoted enough? The tone too conversational? Thanks, Seththomasjordan (talk) 13:29, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - No need for deletion; expansion and sourcing would be helpful. hgilbert (talk) 14:50, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Notable subject. Could be benefit from more footnotes, and some tweaking for more formality & neutrality in tone, but definitely does not warrant deletion.--JayJasper (talk) 21:11, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Doesn't appear to violate WP:NOTESSAY, although the last three paragraphs could do with some work in that respect. The sources given appear to establish that the topic exists and is notable. Perhaps better covered as part of another article, but that's not a reason for outright deletion. Alzarian16 (talk) 12:55, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
