Two obits in the New York Times and not notable? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * More info here and from a book that is now public domain . RMHED (talk) 16:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * As User:Dlohcierekim notes below, nothing in the body of the article shows any notability: it should contain the reasons why he got the obits. I'd have thought that quoting the NYT obits verbatim would surely violate copyright - needs to be re-written into the main text. TrulyBlue (talk) 17:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * What I meant was, take the info out of the cite and put in the article. I was trying to give pasuse to anyone seeking to delete the article. Cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  21:10, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

The newspaper articles cited here are out of copyright. They were published in the US before 1923.--SwanQ (talk) 19:39, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * yes, that's what I meant, too. regards, TrulyBlue (talk) 10:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

The yachting magazine "The Rudder" has a long biographical article about him in the June 1916 issue. See. I have no time to edit right now, but it provides plenty of fodder. --67.241.8.245 (talk) 01:32, 4 February 2009 (UTC) OOps, I should have logged in. --SwanQ (talk) 01:34, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

notable~
the content asserting notability is in the sources, not the article itself. when I tried to fix, I got an edit conflict. Dloh  cierekim
