    • Neutral. Technically passes notability threshold, as noted below. Good job on sourcing Quarl. I cannot endorse the retention of purely local figures, but I will not oppose inclusion. Vassyana 13:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep, the rewrite is great!. FireSpike 01:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep though I don't see what is so great about the rewrite. There is a good lead paragraph on his notable accomplishments, but the majority of the article is about his education, politics, and religion.DGG 01:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This may not be the most well written article, however I think it is worth keeping. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.52.105.38 (talk • contribs)
  • Merge - Having an entire page with not a lot of information seems pointless, even if Fedko is a recognizable sports personality in Pgh. Why can't this information be merged onto the WPXI page somehow? It seems important enough to report on but not important enough to warrant its own article.--Write On 1983 17:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
