Notability
I am not the author of this page, but wanted to comment on its notability. The Hands of the Cause are the highest appointed position in the Bahá'í Faith, and many other Hands of the Cause have their own pages (can be seen by going to Hands of the Cause. I do think the notability guidelines are met.  My concern with this page though is that it might be a copyright violation from this page .  I have a feeling however that the author of that page is the editor who posted the content here, so he may choose to license the text under the GFDL.  Also the text has to be heavily cleaned up to make it NPOV, but that can be done with some editing. Regards, -- Jeff3000 03:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I will try to paraphrase, wikify, and NPOVify the content, but it will take some time. -- Jeff3000 04:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The Noisettes
The digression on Philip and Celestine Noisette is interesting, but (1) may be more detail than needed for this article, and (2) details are hard to confirm. I've tried sketching out a bio of Philippe Noisette on the experimental Wikispore site. With more info, that and a companion bio on Celestine may be completed there, and be linked as appropriate to a shorter text on them in this article.--A12n (talk) 12:33, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

G.W. Dargan
G.W. Dargan was apparently involved in antebellum politics in South Carolina, as a state senator and "chancellor" in the state judiciary, so probably should have a Wikipedia page. He was also uncle of George William Dargan.--A12n (talk) 15:17, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
