John Tuke (cartographer and surveyer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Obscure 19th century cartographer of Northern England. No articulation of any particular notability, no indication of substantive coverage from {{find}}. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 06:56, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not appear to be notable. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:42, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not notable. For anybody who wants to check or consider further, note that the Tukes were a prominent York Quaker family, of whom the best remembered is William Tuke whose entry really does deserve expansion, and several were called John. This one was born c1758 and died 1841. The comment that he is known only for three maps is wrong (booksellers are not all reliable sources) and his most significant work is his General View Of The Agriculture Of The North Riding Of Yorkshire (1800) which runs to 355 pages. It is referred to by academic writers but has not in my view been of sufficient interest to pass the notability criteria. --AJHingston (talk) 13:17, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
