Michael Minns
Not sufficiently notable. Also, the only sourced quote is unremarkable &mdash; more or less the standard definition of habeas corpus &mdash; and the first unsourced quote is practically a cliché. So, not so notable subject + barely notable quotes → deletion, at least IMO. (I originally prodded this, but the editor removed it and added the two unsourced quotes. He added them under "Sourced", so perhaps they come from the same book, but I have no way of knowing. We also have no way of knowing whether the words are really Minns's, or Paul's.) — Ubiquity 23:46, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. Since then, the page's creator has blanked the page, whether in acceptance or protest of the VFD I can't say. I restored the content. --Ubiquity 03:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
