since subject fails . The previous discussion turned obfuscated when a commendably diligent editor offered offline citations. The supposedly conclusive https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=XolmAAAAMAAJ&q=%22goold+Frederick%22 inclusion of our subject in Frederic Boase's ''Modern English Biography'', published from 1892 to 1901 in four volumes, comes up empty in the main body of the work, since the good archdeacon is mentioned nowhere in it. (The full text of the book's "Volume 1 (A-H)" is http://www.gutenberg.org/files/55059/55059-h/55059-h.htm here). The name "Goold" is only retrieved by Boase from anonymity https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=XolmAAAAMAAJ&q=%22goold+Frederick%22 here, in the supplementary tomes of 1912. And, of course, the claim, made during that AfD, that any inclusion in Boase's work implies notability is erroneous, as one can deduce from perusing the entries in the aforecited links, which contain soldiery and priesthood galore
