Speedy Keep Not sure how the nominator missed the library holdings at World Cat but here they are:

All over by Christmas is in University of Oxford, Trinity College Library Dublin, National Library of Scotland.

The Friern Hospital story is in six major libraries including the above and the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda.

Under the Wires at Tally Ho is in twenty libraries!

His award is in Transactions of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society, currently behind a paywall as too recent to be freely available. As the nomination appears to be based on an error, it would be gracious of @DGG: to now withdraw it. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:33, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep As Philafrenzy demonstrates in some detail, the stated basis for the nomination is not valid. Edwardx (talk) 09:41, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep as per Edwardx. We have too few articles on municipal historians and Berguer's books are in several reputable libraries. No Swan So Fine (talk) 15:38, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Philafrenzy. I would close per WP:SNOW but requesting a withdrawal is nicer. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:41, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
