Charles Henry Flacke[edit]

Non-notable. Likely an overzealous genealogist. (I'm sympathetic, really I am, but...) jengod (talk) 03:30, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm getting zero hits on Google for this man, and while the sources are sound, this seems to be original research. Furthermore, sources only prove that he exists and in no way satisfies WP:BIO. DARTH PANDA^talk 04:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think you can really on Google hits when discussing someone from the 19th century. This should probably be looked at by the military wikiproject to get some expert opinion. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. While I agree that ghits cannot be genuinely used for a 19th century military man, the whole page reeks of WP:OR. DARTH PANDA^talk 11:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Of course not. It cites the national archives as the source of the text. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:35, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think I was mistaken with my WP:OR tag, but my previous WP:BIO tag still stands and my position remains the same. DARTH PANDA^talk 18:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As author, please let me attest this is ALL original research! I will defer to the wiki denizens on the notability issue. This one of four intial forays I made into Wiki over past year. I'd be very interested in feedback on two of my other articles I have contributed to significantly: William Capps and Camp Patrick Henry --Mpdc100 (talk) 04:37, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment. First and formost, you do NOT want to declare this as Original Research. I think both you and me were mistaken about what OR means. Anyways, both William Capps and Camp Patrick Henry are both notable and important, yet I would like to hear you logic on both this article and the other one for AfD, as I may reverse my decision. Thanks. DARTH PANDA^talk 13:47, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with the nominator, this is a good-faith genealogist: looks like good work to me, but this isn't what Wikipedia is for. Congrats to the creator for apparently detailed work on his/her greatgreatgrandfather, and thanks for being willing to defer to the wiki denizens :-) Nyttend (talk) 00:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
