"...the home of his great-great-grandfather, and which was given as a wedding gift in the 19th century" Given to whom? RJFJR 20:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"He married in 1972 and divorced in 1984. He has a daughter and 3 sons. He married Mary Tata in 1991." Who did he marry in 1972 since we specified for 1991. RJFJR 20:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Deletion[edit]

I've kept this article in my watchlist for a while, and noticed that way back in August, I added a tag to get at least some references going. I see that people have tried to maintain the article somewhat, yet relatively grandiose claims have continued to live on without being substantiated.

Living in Milford, Michigan, I know that Mr. Lynch is something of a local celebrity, but I'm skeptical about how far his celebrity status reaches outside of the village. Certainly, some of his books could pass WP:N, and I'm not flatly questioning the legitimacy of what's in this article. However, references to the subject's personal homepage are not enough to keep something here. -- Kevin (talk) 22:06, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
