- Keep deletion rationale makes no sense, no evidence of WP:BEFORE, and one of several similarly unusual deletion nominations by a new editor. Jclemens (talk) 07:56, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Please explain why Blyth fails notability. Harry Blyth's stories have been reprinted several times over the last hundred years. He also created Sexton Blake one of the most popular detectives of the early 20th century. I have added multiple publications that reference him in the Further Reading section. Furthermore, the list of Blyth's works is the most complete ever compiled. It would be of use to anyone researching his work.

- Speedy Keep, Blyth is certainly notable, both if one looks at the sources in the article and more importantly if one researches his notability (even briefly on the Internet). Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:42, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
