Måns Andersson[edit]
AfDs for this article:
- Måns Andersson (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Non noteable tobacco farmer. Related to the Bushes. Wiki policy is that being a relative does not confer noteability. This should be particularly true when the relative is 400 years removed from the famous descendant. Politics n such (talk) 05:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The article cites reliable published sources for its area, and Andersson is notable in the history of New Sweden for his role in the instigation of the Long Finn Rebellion... which we do not currently have an article on. The issue of whether he's related to Bush or not is a red herring; in this case the claims that a president was related to him merely brought attention to his already-notable existence by people other than Swedish historians. --erachima talk 18:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
