[edit] George Henry Andrews

George Henry Andrews (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I tried several different Google queries but couldn't find one relevant hit that wasn't Wikipedia or some mirror. Someone on the talk page opined that the subject of this article may be made up. An overly chatty article with a "verify" tag that's been there for over a year. Thunderbunny 00:03, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Reluctant Weak Delete I found a page that mentions him on Tripod [1], and he was a national cabinet minister, which makes him at least as notable as a member of a national legislature. But I couldn't find anything on him in reliable sources in a basic Google/Books/Scholar search and the article does not cite such sources. JChap2007 01:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep A Google search on "George Henry Andrews Liberia" turns up a few ghits. Most notably, there is a book "Cry, Liberia, Cry" by a G. Henry Andrews. I would give this article the benefit of the doubt. --Richard 02:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. He was apparently a cabinet minister, which makes him notable in my book. But the article needs better references and a rewrite for style. WMMartin 15:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
