The first sentence said about the subject: "was a minor Elizabethan poet and clergyman". This search didn't satisfy me either. Alexius08 (talk) 09:35, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I'm assuming that this article has been nominated because the subject is considered to be non-notable, although that isn't made clear in the nomination. The fact that Fitzgeoffrey has an ODNB entry implies that he's a "significant, influential or notorious figure", which is precisely what WP:BIO requires.

• Keep as per Tevildo. If he's notable enough for a print encyclopedia, he's notable enough for Wikipedia. Edward321 (talk) 14:14, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep What's minor in ultimate historical terms is still unquestionably notable, if the ODNB thinks it's not too minor to be included. Notability is much less than famous. Everyone they give an article to should be included here. The word "minor" in the lede paragraph however needs to be sourced, presumably to them. DGG (talk) 20:24, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
