The result was Snowball keep, eight valid "keep"s in as many hours is obviously a case for WP:SNOW. As Lankiveil said, nobility usually equals notability; furthermore, sources were added to the article during the discussion. Non-admin closure.

Sir Joseph Hood, 1st Baronet[edit]

Non-notable Baron, without sources and already speedied once. I cannot find any sources on the man, and am not sure if he is/was even notable even if I could find some. Jmlk 1 7 09:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. What in earth is a 'non-notable Baron'? The man was a UK member of parliament, the mayor of Wimbledon, and was made a Baronet. Blatantly notable. Search for "Sir Joseph Hood" in Google - you should find the same sources I found, and have now added to the article.--Michig (talk) 09:45, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He was an MP and so notable per Wikipedia:Notability (people) - politician in national legislature. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Obvious Keep as Michig and Colonel Warden make abundantly clear. Nick mallory (talk) 12:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, nobility is usually considered notable, an MP is usually considered notable, and he was deputy chairman of a major company. I'm not sure what else exactly you want. Lankiveil (talk) 13:07, 24 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Keep He was a baronet (hereditary knight), not a baron (member of the House of Lords). Still, nobody gets created a baronet unless they've done more than enough to be notable.--Habashia (talk) 13:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Snowball keep anyone? Passes WP:BIO for me...--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 15:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Snowball keep I would if I had the balls Computerjoe 's talk 15:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly a keep. I would close this except I've edited the article. The version that got speedied didn't have any details and only used "Bt", an abbreviation perhaps unfamiliar to some. Gimmetrow 16:23, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
