Seems like a very, very minor historical figure. Served on the school board, acted as census taker, made a bid for the senate, raised a family. Nothing that really stands out. Mosquito ringtone LeeHunter/Lee Hunter 23:23, 3 Feb 2005
*Bogus VFD. Perfectly notable minor historical figure. Keep. Sabrina Martins Centauri/Centauri 01:16, 4 Feb 2005
*'''Delete'''. Being notable in a single county in the USA is sufficient to be in Wikipedia? Shouldn't we try to be more global here? Just imagine every county or municipality in the world putting up an article for their notable figures. Nextel ringtones JoaoRicardo/JoaoRicardo 01:49, 4 Feb 2005
::Yes, just imagine it; there's finally an encyclopedia that can actually make it a reality. Abbey Diaz Centauri/Centauri 06:29, 4 Feb 2005

:::::Point taken. But I must say I find the violin is appeal to authority unnecessary. The argument you cited is valid per se, it doesn't need to be endorsed by someone. attractive late JoaoRicardo/JoaoRicardo 18:43, 6 Feb 2005
*'''Delete''', not notable - Google hits less than 150. wine fair Megan1967/Megan1967 02:28, 4 Feb 2005
*Comment: '''Unsure'''. It's IMO unsafe to vote to delete on the basis of Google, many things are under-represented on the WWW. No vote as yet. boyfriend if Andrewa/Andrewa 02:32, 4 Feb 2005
*'''Keep.''' Perfectly legitimate article. Just becuase you've never heard of him doesn't mean he doesn't merit an article. companies credit Lord Pistachio/L. Pistachio 02:42, Feb 4, 2005

*'''Delete.''' Sounds like a good guy to name a middle school after, but an article about him is outside of the scope of the Wikipedia. on sec B Touch/b. Touch 03:01, 4 Feb 2005
*'''Comment'''. It is hard to say why someone thought this person was interesting enough to write an article about. I'm guessing that it was someone connected with the Middle School that is named after him. It might be a young person who wrote it, and perhaps he or she didn't quite capture what Farquhar achieved on the School Board that made them think to name a Middle School after him one hundred years later. The article was only written today and is the first contribution of this user. I'm going to wait and see if there is any more information forthcoming. Right now, my first instinct is "Don't bite the newbies." bradley we BM/BM 03:25, 4 Feb 2005
**Comment. It has the earmarks of family history research. My take is that the anonymous author is a relative. But the subject did have a school named after him, and threw good parties. -saying her R. S. Shaw/R. S. Shaw 03:47, 8 Feb 2005

*'''Keep'''. Detailed, reasonably well written, significant enough to have a school named after him. Good effort by a newbie. A comprehensive encyclopedia needs to be ... well ... comprehensive. have stayed 80N/80N 23:54, Feb 4, 2005
