[edit] Isaace Pierre de Villiers

I can't find a single source on the internets for this, other than mirrors. Google search with quotes turns up abysmal numbers of results, none of which are not Wikipedia mirrors. This person might not even exist as far as I can tell. Lack of sources, 3 edits before mine and no discussion page suggests a lack of use for this article. Milto LOL pia 06:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

- Keep, commander of SA forces at Tobruk seems pretty notable. Google Books has an extensive history of the SA Police that offered more detail. --Dhartung | Talk 07:34, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've never heard of Google books. Is it an online resource like Wikibooks? If I saw some links, I might change my mind. Milto LOL pia 07:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- See Google Books. Similar to Amazon's A9 search inside. Amazing amounts of material some of it fairly obscure and not all of it fully visible without registration or purchase of material, but a great research tool. This is the bok: Black and Blue: Policing in South Africa. Note, a google search for "IP de Villiers" does turn up a few scattered results as well; I've added a couple to the article. --Dhartung | Talk 07:55, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- Note also article should be moved to Isaac Pierre de Villiers, the correct spelling per that book and his knighthood listing. --Dhartung | Talk 11:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I thought about that but I got far fewer google results with that name, so I wasn't sure. Milto LOL pia 11:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

- Keep but correct "Isaace" to "Isaac". Apart from WW2 literature in South Africa, there are some internet sources which refer to him, e.g. http://www.lonesentry.com/bardia_intel/index.html
