[edit] Henry Every

Seems like a joke page, unverifiable. But I'm not 100% certain of it or enough to mark it as a speedy. Stifle 01:37, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. See here [1], here [2], and best of all, here [3]. If only our page could be like the German one. JHMM13 (T | C) 02:02, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I think I'm going to spend some time translating the German page into English as well. Just kidding, it seems that there aren't many sources on the German Wikipedia page, so it might be copyvio. JHMM13 (T | C) 02:04, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - most definitely real and notable: I've cleaned it up and expanded the detail. Tearlach 03:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep expand and clean up - notable pirate. Capitalistroadster 02:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

  Comment: This is not a speedy keep. A speedy keep may only occur if the nominator (i.e. me) withdraws the nomination and there have been no delete votes, or if the nomination was clearly vandalism or disruption of Wikipedia to make a point. Stifle 02:11, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

  Comment: Well, would you withdraw it, then? The original version was a little naff, but it should be obvious by now that Every existed. Tearlach 03:16, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - I haven't heard of him but there's many people I haven't heard of. It sounds like he was a real pirate. And no pirate should be deleted from the pages of Wikipedia! His Noodliness would be very unhappy! --Cyde Weys _talk^contribs 20:56, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
