Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Plemth
We could mention he's in ''Fasti Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ,'' to which detractors would say, "oh, that's just incidental." Here's the question: "Is Wikipedia better off with or without this article?" That seems clear. Now, let's take a look at all the links that are gonna go red if this historical stub is deleted: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/John_Plemth&limit=500. In what possible alternative universe is that a benefit to the encyclopedia??? So let's go straight to the biggest Policy in the playbook:  — "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it." Confirmed existence, factually accurate, valid claim to notability, useful content, that's all we should really worry about
