This page contains nothing that isn't already on the page for The Stanley Works and probably never will since there isn't much information on Frederick T. Stanley other than the fact that he founded the company. typhoon (talk) 20:10, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:POLITICIAN as the mayor of a more than notable city (New Britain CT; there are scores, probably hundreds, of articles on mayors of less sizable cities -- for example, there are articles on 10 mayors of Hoboken, approximately half the population of New Britain). Also the founder of a major industrial company, and listed in a relevant specialized encyclopedia, including material which could easily be used to expand the article in whichever areas the nominator might find insufficient.

Keep. I'm not sure he passes WP:POLITICIAN, but I do consider he passes WP:BIO for his business and political activities receiving significant coverage in reliable sources. There is lots of material on which a biography can be written. --Mkativerata (talk) 18:54, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A major business leader who passes WP:BIO. The article needs a strong rewrite. Warrah (talk) 17:11, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
