  • Queried speedy delete for {{db-bio}}. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:16, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup - I don't understand why this is marked for deletion. The economist has many ghits. While the article may have some less notable sections (esp the 2nd paragraph), the person himself is notable and the article asserts its notability near the end of the article. It just needs some cleanup. Billscottbob 17:05, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
