Talk:William Christian (Manx)

Ok. This builds out of discussions from my talk page and Manxy3's talk page....

So we have three people that meet the page name, and are talking about making this one a disambig for the three. According to Manxy3, we have: "1. Illiam Dhone 2. Reverand William Christian CP JP BA - a member of the LegCo from 1883 to 1887 3. William Watson Christian CP JP - a member of the LegCo from 1848 to 1867."

One thing that is going to be a problem, long term. Pages for the 2nd and 3rd one really need sourcing for them. You say you have no further info on the other two. But really, for includsion on the project, sourcing is really required. Stubs can be created with minimal information, but without any sourcing at all, they are subject to deletion at any time.

I also do not necessarily agree that they are notable just because they were on the council. From reading the Council's page, I would assume that they are like the US House or senate. But if you go back historically, not every US Senator and Congressman has a page on the project. A quick check of United States Congressional Delegations from Texas, as a sample, shows many, many red links on the page, some even up through the 1980s. So notability is still a concern.

If the only information you hace on these two is their names and dates on the council, IMHO you might be better off placing them on a list somewhere on the project of such members. - TexasAndroid 19:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
