notable?[edit]

Is this person really all that notable? At the least I would suggest that "Robert Traill" doesn't redirect here, because that's the same name as a person (1642-1716) I searched for who (from the blurb at the back of his book Justification Vindicated): "[was the] son of a Scottish Covenanting minister, fugitive, exile and prisoner on the Bass Rock during the 'Killing Times', wrote his masterly defence of the doctrine of justification by faith alone in 1692 to dispel such obscurity."Jamesrlforsyth (talk) 09:41, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Until an article exists for the "Robert Traill" you refer to or for someone else who is known by that name, there's no reason not to redirect Robert Traill here. (And yes, in the history of Stewart Island this person is "all that notable".) Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 09:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
