Article violates Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons. Article contains unsourced and poorly sourced claims. Article lacks notability. Masterpedia 01:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per my nomination. --Masterpedia 01:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep As none of the claims seem the least controversial, I do not see how the intent of BLP is violated.DGG 03:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Does not violate WP:BLP anyway, as Fowler died in 1977 [1]. He made the front page of The Times according to the Shropshire Star, and it sounds like Countryman's Cooking is a very notable, best-selling and widely covered book. --Canley 03:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Needs to be moved to W. M. W. Fowler though. --Peta 04:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you mean W.M.W. Fowler. TJ Spyke 07:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, and support move, as per Peta. Ford MF 06:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep He seems notable, needs to be move to W.M.W. Fowler though. TJ Spyke 07:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Nominator didn't explain how Fowler lacks notability and I don't see any claims that would violate WP:BLP or even BDP if it existed. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, notable as author of popular book, has source. NawlinWiki 15:50, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, sufficient notability. Agree on move as well. JavaTenor 18:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per the commenters above, sufficient notability exists. What is BDP? Yamaguchi先生 03:18, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, 1) I agree article should be moved to W.M.W. Fowler and have done as suggested. 2) Fowler died in 1977 (as stated). 3) The information on the page was initially sourced from Fowlers own book which is referenced. Two further references have also been added that support the information. Jcwhizz 10:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
