Walter Oi
Is this professor notable? I think not quite enough. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 08:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and expand; as-is it looks like a pointless vanity article but it does have references, and according to Google it appears he did in fact play a big part in convincing Nixon to end the draft, supported by the websites of the U of R, the DoD, RAND, and countless libertarian websites; the article definitely needs major improvement and expansion but I'd say it satisfies Krimpet 08:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I think this guy is notable enough to have an article, although it needs a lot of work. I've tagged it for wikification and lack of references. Krimpet could you stick the references you found on the talk page of the article?Madmedea 17:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep and please correct the dollar figure related to all-volunteer force Fg2 02:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- keep he is undoubtedly N as professor of economics, Rochester being a major research university. However, this articles doesnt depend on that. He's a public figure due to his historical role. Better sourcing is needed, as usual. DGG 02:21, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but work on those sources to avoid another nomination for deletion. Prof Oi is notable as historical figure yet the article fails to show it (yes I am shocked to have voted keep despite of nn sources) Alf photoman 23:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
