Ruth Crisp ( talk| | history| logs| links| watch) ( XfD| restore)

A little page on Ruth Crisp (1918-2007) the noted crossword compiler was speedily deleted by User:Phantomsteve (05:38, 30 January 2013) following a prod (04:34, 30 January 2013) and then speedy request (04:38, 30 January 2013) by User:Stubbleboy . The rationale listed was (A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject (CSDH)). I believe this was done outside of our criteria. The article claimed she was a notable compiler ("one of the Guardian's most noted compilers") and had sources to two obits published the UK national press (The Guardian and The Telegraph). I have notified both the deleting admin Phantomsteve and Stubbleboy about my concerns without repsonse. I have also discussed with the Admin User:Malik_Shabazz who deleted a couple of redirects to the page Vixen (crossword compiler) and Crispa (crossword compiler). Malik suggested I bring it here after a suitable wait. Other sources (BBC radio 4 show with an Obit and an entry in Jonathan Crowther's excellent (2007) Collins A to Z of Crosswords: Insight Into the Top Setters and Their Crosswords) are easily available if they are needed and might be regarded as "significant new information has come to light since a deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page". PS: This is not the same person as the Ruth Crisp (NZ philanthropist who was previously deleted) Msrasnw ( talk) 11:30, 2 February 2013 (UTC) PPS: I was the pages creator. reply

  • I agree with what Malik Shabazz said on his talk page. As with most speedies where a good faith user has honest doubt about it, we should list at AfD with a note that G4 doesn't apply because this is a different person with the same name.— S Marshall T/ C 11:47, 2 February 2013 (UTC) reply
    As the deleting admin, I have restored the article - I am convinced by the arguments presented that there is a sufficient claim of significance, enough to not meet the criteria for A7 deletion. PhantomSteve/ talk| contribs\ 12:16, 2 February 2013 (UTC) reply
