  • A very weak keep. You listed this in vfd when the article was just three hours old. I say lets give its author and other interested parties some time to fix the article. It needs heavy cleanup, but maybe some useful information in it can be salvaged. Please elaborate on copyvio. jni 08:01, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I VFD pages when their subject is unencyclopedic. Unless the Craigs are truly a dynasty (the Kennedys would merit a page), Wikipedia does not need this article. JFW | T@lk 08:24, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • From what I can see it's almost certainly copied from elsewhere (although googling for phrases turns up nothing), but the copyright may have expired already to judge by the antique language -- Though very wealthy, they were men of primitive and simple habits etc. I wonder if someone can argue the significance of people named Craig in Scottish history, and also clarify the copyright status of this text. No vote yet. Wile E. Heresiarch 14:45, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I have no proof for copyvio, it's a poorly developed sixth sense. JFW | T@lk 08:24, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Lousy article, uncertain if topic is encyclopedic. --Improv 21:44, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Seems like there is something here worth keeping, although i'm no expert. I'll give it a weak keep siroχo 06:05, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is useful information. anthony (see warning) 22:04, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-encyclopedic. --Viriditas 11:45, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Not encyclopedic, non-contributory. The genealogical murk is deep, folks. There is a reason there are a hundred websites devoted to genealogy: there isn't a "Craig family." There are three, four, five, etc. We don't want to open that can. Geogre 14:06, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
