[edit] Augustus Thorne
Non-notable biography. While lengthy and interesting, the story of the author's ancestor makes no assertion of notability. I've decided to AfD instead of CSD in case someone knows something I don't. A Google test yields 70 results. The Thorne in this article doesn't appear to be the Broadway star or film actor that the Google results reflect. Consequentially 23:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Well-researched family piece, but belongs on genealogy sites, not on Wikipedia. WWGB 03:23, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Almost stood for Parliament once. Was an overseas merchant. That's about it as far as claims to historical notability. Doesn't seem like a WikiBooks candidate (as it's tagged) but I don't know their criteria. Wikipedia is not a directory or repositor of genealogical data. --Dhartung | Talk 12:36, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Not encyclopedic. --Moonriddengirl 12:49, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and all of the above. Also, it is original research. 24.97.138.90 18:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
