The result was speedy keep. SK2E: deletion rationaile is blatantly wrong/mistaken. Article is not a BLP; and even if it were, that's what WP:BLPPROD is for - if it wasn't referenced, which, in fact, it is (and was at the time of nomination). I might also point out that nominating an article for deletion 20 minutes after creation is somewhat WP:BITEy. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:27, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a living person and appears to have no references. All biographies of living people created after March 2010 must have at least one reference to a reliable source. This one doesn't PBASH607 (The One Day Apocalypse) (talk) 22:57, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

:Keep I suggest you take up your sourcing issues with the editor responsible for putting that source on Moon-eyed people. He's a shifty type though. You want to watch his actions (and deletion logs).

Keep Where to start? The gentleman died in the 18th century, so why does the nominator refer to him as a "living person"? The previous recommendation to keep reads strangely to me, and April Fool's Day was weeks ago. A Google Books search shows this person was notable.

Keep. Nominator's rationale is flawed; Marbury is not at present a "living person". Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 00:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
