Here's the discussion from my former UserID SavageGecko

Edison Pioneers
Dear Gecko, When you start an article, do not leave it until it has some content. Edison Pioneers was almost deleted by someone who didnt know what the topic is. I do not have time to write it for you. You should whether it did anything like endow some prizes or whatever. If you need help, ask. DGG 07:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) List as many of the people as possible. All of them. Fast. dont worry about any which show up as redlinks, meaning they don't have an article yet. many of them will.
 * 2) Say in the article that it is notable because,... and how long it has lasted and whether it still continues and
 * 1) Try very hard to find a mention of it in at least two sources, web or otherwise, and put in the references.
 * 2) Now you'll be OK, and can improve as needed. It would be a very nice project to put bios in for the ones who do not already have articles. Look at some similar bios to get some idea what is needed.
 * I'm looking to the Henry Ford Museum to help me complete that page. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND HELP AND INPUT!!!

Proposed deletions
I've proposed a number of articles you've created for speedy deletion as not specifying why the person is notable. (I also note that most of them seem to be relatives, and possibly your relatives. WP:NOT a genealogy chart.)  If these are deleted, you may create them at any time when you have sufficient evidence of WP:Notability. However, you may not remove db (speedy deletion) tags on your articles, nor may you remove AfD tags at any time. (They are not created by bots.) &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 08:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * As noted on your talk page, I will work in the Sandbox next time. Four of the pages are surviving, for my notable relatives, with notability added and referential genealogy deleted. I will have them fully fleshed out with notability in the future. Lesson learned.:  Edison Pioneers, John I. Beggs, Robert P. McCulloch, Whip Jones
 * There is a problem in doing pages on your relatives--it attracts unfavorable attention, just or unjust. Now, I see from your user page that you list Wat Tyler and similar among your relatives, and if you could find some more at that level it would go OK. But a little less, it's a problem. (btw, what's the connection?)  DGG 01:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you can document every g? & I assumed the other two names were jokes?? The best I can do for myself is that Walter Gilbert is a second cousin. (as are a dozen or so radicals of various persuasions and generations) DGG 07:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

About Whip Jones
In answer to your question, I don't know who came up with the name "Whipple Jones III" for the B&B character, but it may have been Bradley Bell, who was (and still is) the show's head writer/exec. producer. But I think they probably did name him after the real person, because it would be one hell of a coincidence if they didn't. Kogsquinge 05:11, 19 December 2006 (UTC) <\blockquote>
