Peter Palumbo[edit]

Nothing here establishes that this architect is notable except that "Lord" in his title. If this article is worth expanding on then it should be done, however I don't see that happening. -- Riffsyphon1024 10:34, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it is a stub. LoopZilla 10:45, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
But what is in question is the notability of this person. What have they done that makes them Wiki-worthy? -- Riffsyphon1024 10:48, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Well, the v.f.d. went on 4 minutes after I created the page to look for extant references, of which there were 4 or 5: now there are 10 LoopZilla 07:56, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable. 80.255 11:07, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. A simple Google search for Lord Palumbo will reveal his notability. Miss Pippa 12:22, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep but move to Peter Palumbo, Baron Palumbo. Apart from being a significant property developer (some would say notorious rather than notable), Lord Palumbo has been a member of the British House of Lords since 1991. --Henrygb 13:04, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, very notable indeed. -- John Fader (talk • contribs) 14:30, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, significant public figure. --Charles Matthews 17:45, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and move. The fact that he is a member of a parliament such as the House of Lords indicates notability as does the awarding of a life peerage in the UK. Former chair of the arts council in the UK as well. Capitalistroadster 18:54, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Nomination was unresearched and should not have been made. Wincoote 02:31, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Very odd nomination. -- Necrothesp 15:23, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • This article has grown since its nomination. If you go back into the history, you will see that it definitely was not this large or detailed. Page on March 5 Do not assume. -- Riffsyphon1024 02:41, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)
      • I quote you: "If this article is worth expanding on then it should be done, however I don't see that happening". Why, precisely? This second comment suggests you didn't bother to check out his notability before nominating. Therefore, I think people's comments are rather justified and nobody is assuming anything. -- Necrothesp 20:45, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • You may be correct on me forgeting to check, sometimes I have hunches that certain articles may be crap. However, I was wrong, and was proven wrong. But might I bring up something of interest? Most of you are from the UK, are you not? As an American, I was simply not aware of this person as you may be, so may I escape ridicule for not knowing of his notability? Since this article has grown to an acceptable Wikilength --and-- has proven notability of this person, then I cannot wish for it to be deleted anymore. Dispute over. -- Riffsyphon1024 01:22, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Simply because I found the page very useful when looking for info on the father of the owner of Ministry of Sound. ZephyrAnycon 23:12, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
