Wilhelm von Opel

~~Just because his dad is notable doesn't mean that he is. Merge? Grutness|^hello? 06:31, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)~~As rewritten, I change my original nomination to a keep. looks much more reasonable now. Grutness|^hello? 12:13, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, I'd say. I mean, unless he did anything major of his own accord, why talk about him? Does the George Bush Jr. article talk about his non-noteworthy siblings/children? No. If anything, Mrs. Opel would be more noteworthy... Master Thief Garrett 06:38, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC) Keep as rewritten. Master Thief Garrett 06:59, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete as it is now. If notable, someone will create good page. Pavel Vozenilek 09:43, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I've rewritten. A quick Google search demonstrates that he is notable in his own right. His dad founded the company but Wilhelm is the one who got them making cars. (What was noteworthy about his wife? Please add it to the article.) FreplySpang (talk) 19:22, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- oops, nothing was notable about Mrs. Opel at all! I was just saying that as an example. If this man was non-noteworthy, then his mother would be *slightly* more noteworthy by being the Mrs. of a big man. Sorry if that was ambiguous. The rewrite is good, so I will change my vote.

Keep. I advise that people start copyediting articles BEFORE they nominate them to VfD. Kingturtle 07:23, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
