The instructions say to "object" to a proposed deletion, so that is the purpose of this comment. Robb Austin has no digital footprints since the historical events (significant as part of the history of American campaign politics) occurred in the 70s-early 80s, so satisfying the conditions of notability, verifiablity, and reliable sources will require digitizing print media content and photographs.
My plan is to upload vintage photographs to Wikimedia Commons, including the 27-year-old's campaign poster, election night headquarters, his swearing in to the Pennsylvania legislature, Austin at work in his legislative office, and President Reagan/Austin photographs in the Oval Office. I will also scan in the original print media content referenced and post on a website so they will be accessible and verifiable that way. Furthermore, a few of the print media archives may be digitized and I will investigate that. The one book referenced is available on Amazon.com, Ousting the Ins, and I will see if there is an ISBN number for it.
This all will take some time for me to do. (And I still have to add the references and links per Wikipedia style guidelines.)
So I am writing this to alert the editors that I am working on solving the questions raised in the comment area at the beginning of the Robb Austin article. Any suggestions you have at this time will be most welcome, and I welcome feedback after I upload photos and make the print media articles available as scanned archives.Greyhair49 (talk) 05:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
