The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Notability is definitely established as many of the !votes here have cited in their rationale. Many of the !votes against keeping the article not adequately address a reason for removal per the deletion policy. (non-admin closure) -- Dane ^talk 23:34, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

fails WP:GNG, no independent sources. No indication what makes him notables, as it is more a romantic version of a "man with a job". The Banner talk 11:42, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep-Article does require significant editing to highlight notability but Cantine appears to be more than "man with a job". Examination of current article describes notability: Cantine founded the Arabian Mission which has become the American Mission Hospital of Bahrain. C-Class article seems more appropriate than deletion. Article requires improved organization, elimination of excessive links, clear presentation of notability in Cantine's role in founding American Mission Hospital. Finally article was just created and original editor should have more time to improve.

• Delete as nothing here for any applicable notability, regardless of the information and sources as none of it amounted to convincing. SwisterTwister talk 23:57, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep He was one of the founders of a notable institution that helps plenty of people. I see in 1924 they had over thirty thousand people they helped, and over the decades they have grown. Not sure what they do year by year, or their total. Also this article was nominated for deletion 12 hours after it was created. Dream Focus 04:44, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also this article was nominated for deletion 12 hours after it was created. What is the relevance of that? The Banner talk 09:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The reliable and verifiable sources about the subject here in the article establish notability. Rather than the timing, the bigger issue is that the nominator fails to understand Wikipedia:Deletion policy and the obligations to identify potential sources, improve the article and preserve the content before considering deletion.

• Delete per nomination. - TheMagnificentist 18:09, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I think that there's enough here for WP:GNG based upon searches, but the article needs a lot of work. I'll work on it so that his notability is clearer.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:44, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per user:CaroleHenson. Sander.v.Ginkel ^(Talk) 20:31, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - I just realized that this article was created for Wiki Ed/University of Pennsylvania/Medical Missionaries to Community Partners (Fall 2016), and was created first in the user's sandbox. So, I am going to stop making edits and expanding the article at this time. There is still quite a lot of content that could be added by the user that created the article - which I am assuming (and hoping) can be kept at this point due to the votes and updates to the article.--CaroleHenson (talk) 22:33, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
