William Lyman Phillips
I have removed your addition of William Lyman Phillips to the "Notable people" section of Lake Wales, Florida. In general, a person added to a list of "notable people" should have a pre-existing article before being added to such lists. If you wish to create such an article about Phillips, please first confirm that he qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. By the way, the Wikipedia article about Fairchild Tropical Garden is at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, although Fairchild Tropical Garden does redirect to that article. If I can be of any help, please let me know. Thank you. - Donald Albury 18:35, 18 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I am a novice at creating in Wikipedia, but a repeat donor and user of the data. I would like to create or instigate the creation of a page on William Lyman Phillips, who was a noted landscape architect and protege of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. Phillips created multiple famous botanical gardens and hundreds of other landscapes, many in Florida. He readily meets the "BNotable Persons" guidlines. Here are some of the references available:

 * First of all, I hope that you do not mind that I have refactored your response to make it fit the usual talk page conventions on Wikipedia. In most circumstances it is considered rude or actionable to change another users comments on a talk page, but I felt this was the easiest way to illustrate the talk page conventions in Wikipedia. Take a look at Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines when you have the time. We generally indent responses by placing a colon in front of a paragraph. Additional colons indent further. (Look at what I have done here using the 'edit source' mode.) You should also sign comments with the four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of the comment. All of this makes it easier for other editors to follow a discussion.
 * If you are not familiar with Google Scholar, that can help in searching for sources. I quickly found Pioneer of Tropical Landscape Architecture (which you already know about) using Google Scholar. That should be an excellent source, being published by an academic press. Do you have access to that book? If not, are you familiar with requesting interlibrary loans through a library where you have borrowing privileges? I have done that several times working on articles for Wikipedia. Having multiple reliable sources is always good. You should start a draft, either in the Draft space (see Wikipedia:Drafts), or in a subpage under your user page (for instance, User:Robert J. Connors/William Lyman Phillips). I would suggest looking at some of the biographies in Category:American landscape architects for ideas on how to structure an article about Phillips. Good luck. - Donald Albury 20:46, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
