Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Van Spence
per , can't find any verifiable info on Spence, other than Shaw's book.  Could be persuaded to change my mind if this is sourced though.  Why would the suitibility of Litchfield for inclusion have any bearing on articles about persons of local interest, authors who have written about it, or their books?  Cities, Towns, & Villages are all suitable wikipedia material, but there are hundreds if not thousands of people of local reknown who don't meet  and thus can't really be considered candidates for their own articles.  Pertinent info could be merged to a blurb in Litchfield if anyone cares to do so
