Thanks, Tom. But referring to yourself in the third person is a bad habit, and please don't wipe out the contents of this talk page when you add a comment to it. —SlamDiego_←T 16:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

“Keep” v. meeting notability guidelines

Indeed a majority voted to keep the article, but the articles still does not meet the notability guidelines. The few “reliable sources” that it cites mention McAlpin in passing, and do not treat him as notable.

Thomprod's removal of the Notability tag is quite inconsistent with his suggestion of 19:18 17 January that the article be kept but tagged. The latter suggestion is coherent exactly because the decision that the article should be kept does not imply that the article is presently up-to-snuff. —SlamDiego_←T 17:36, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
