Google Books changes everything.
If they delete based on Google and fail to search Google Books for items of 
historical note then they are acting without a duty of actual research.

I'm not saying that people should delete based on Google results in the 
first place.  In fact I am the one who put that note on historical subjects 
into the policy in the first place a few years back.  Subjects who are not 
necessarily currently talked-up might have been quite the popular rage back in 
1920 or 1920 or 1420, and should not be deleted based on current Google 
searches.

With Google Books we can now allow the Chair Potato to see that for 
themselves.
