Talk:Richard Baines

Notability
Having recently made some fairly extensive changes to the entries for Robert Poley and Ingram Frizer I had wondered whether the one for Richard Baines (another man closely associated with Christopher Marlowe) would benefit from something similar, only to find to my astonishment that there wasn't one. An item on him that had been there earlier was apparently deleted by a former administrator on grounds of the subject's lack of notability. I hope that this time the article I have submitted makes it clear why this assessment is wrong. At least it will mean that the list of 23 "notable" namesakes on the page for the surname "Baines" no longer shows Richard as the only one without a Wikipedia link!
