Talk:Will Reynolds

Lynching
I removed the 'lynching deaths in Alabama' category because I don't see how this is a lynching. Facts of the matter are: Now, true, the onlookers then looted his body for "souvenirs" as was common to do to lynching victims etc in those days. But that does not make it a lynching. Feel free to disagree, but please post your reasoning here if you decide to re-add the category. -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 05:19, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Will Reynolds → 1902 Tuscumbia shootout – Per WP:PERP, Will Reynolds is notable enough for his own article. I don't believe anything was ever written about him before this shootout. Dennis C.

 * Oppose. The incident is clearly best-known by the name of its perpetretor. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:28, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Necrothesp. After the passage of 121 years, this historical event continues to be referenced via Reynolds' name, although the proposed redlinked header can be certainly created as a redirect. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:40, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
