[edit] Famous people removed from article

James Irwin - Apollo astronaut (I can find no sources linking him to Roseburg)
Rosemary Carde` - comic book model, comic book artist, painter, and writer (significance?, no sources) (should it be spelled Cardé?)
Phillip M. Singer - anthropologist and political scientist (no sources)

Hoyt Axton actually lived near Idleyld Park, Oregon [1], and perhaps should be moved there when an article is written.

I know Irwin lived in Roseburg, as in the mid 70's he came to town to do a speech and mentioned it. Only for a couple of years in high school though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.191.18.25 (talk • contribs) 17:53, October 18, 2006

- Re: James Irwin - needs to remain off list until it can be referenced to a publish source.
- Re: Hoyt Axton - Only lived two years in Oregon, birth in Oklahoma confirmed in Scribner's Encyclopedia of American Lives, as was retirement to Montana where he died. Given that, I deleted him from the list today. -- "J-M" (Jgilhousen) 04:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Helen Lesh

OK, so someone removed Helen Lesh. I know for a fact she lived there for quite some time. I met her once, and my father, who still lives there, has had occasion to work with her on various community projects. She may have recently moved away or passed away, for that matter. Can the person who removed Helen let me know why? Thanks! Agershon (talk) 21:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you never have to wonder who changed an article when you look at the page history. The one for this page is here. If you see my edit summary, you will see I said that Phil's mom probably isn't notable on her own. For these notable residents sections the basic rule is that the person a) has to meet Wikipedia's notabiltiy criteria b) has to already have an article on Wikipedia. If she is indeed notable on her own merits, an article on her would need to be written using reliable sources. Though I don't doubt that Helen Lesh lived in Roseburg, we can't take your word for it because this is original reasearch on your part. Again, reliabe sources are needed. Places where famous people's parents live, however, is most likely going to fall into the realm of trivia, though there are probably some exceptions. I hope this helps.
