- Keep Clearly notable and sufficiently referenced. I also want to alert editors about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philip Paul which also appears to be a spurious nomination by the same nominator, with the other two rubber stamp delete votes. All three appear to be new editors unfamiliar with the guidelines on which they should be basing their votes. __meco (talk) 16:17, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This article has been nominated for rescue. SilverserenC 19:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. SilverserenC 19:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I have added a number of external links to the page. Hyman appears notable, with good faith taken on the references. SilverserenC 19:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: There may be canvassing involved in the delete votes on this AfD. SilverserenC 19:58, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep: I'm comfortable with asserting this to be a bad faith nomination, given that it's an SPA seemingly created to file this AfD, with immediate delete votes from two other SPAs that seem to do nothing but cast delete votes at AfD. As Meco correctly states, they seem unaware of the pertinent guidelines; for instance, as any experienced editor knows, inline references are not required to retain an article, nor is article length a factor.

- Keep Clicking on Google Book search, and adding in the word "mobster" to make sure I got the right guy, I see two results. [1] one of them is already mentioned in the article, "Mr. Mob: The Life and Crimes of Moe Dalitz", that legitimate coverage. The other is published by some anti-semetic holocaust denying racists idiots, but this Jewish gangster was famous enough to be mentioned in it. Other books are mentioned in the article as references.
