Delete. Non-notable local figure. Vassyana 10:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- 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.
