Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hillier Parker May and Rowden
It was not my intention to use the term "deletionist" in a pejorative sense: I wasn't aware it had one. I meant it in an entirely literal sense: "one who has voted in favour of deletion". On the more substantive point, I fail to see the relevance of citing , which is a warning against coverage of topics whose apparent notability is fleeting and ephemeral ("brief bursts of news coverage"). I have quoted statements from two solid, scholarly secondary works that Hillier Parker was '''one of the two leading commercial estate agents''' in the UK over a 20-year period; and from a third (Morrison and Stamper) to the effect that it played a significant, if secondary, role in shaping the face of the 20th-century British high street. Incidentally, for those who may suspect I have taken quotes out of context, I have now found that a number of relevant pages from Scott, ''The Property Masters'', are available on https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=cSNS0EfNVxIC&pg=PA41&dq=hillier+parker&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=hillier%20parker&f=false Google Books here
