Please note that to be "notable", the person should meet Wikipedia's definition, as outlined at Notability (people); it appears that Wallie Funk, whom you listed in the article for Anacortes, does not meet that criteria. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Funk was publisher and editor of 3 newspapers, as well as curator of a photo museum, which surely means he rates a (local) mention. Perhaps not his own article though, so I've removed the redlink. See this link: http://www.acadweb.wwu.edu/cpnws/funk/funkbio.htm

 * I see you added a ref to the mention in the article - there's enough in the ref to establish that he meets the criteria of WP:BIO. Ideally, an article would be created about him (and looking over the ref, I would be surprised if there's not enough out there to justify such an article); but the ref works for now to establish verifiability of his notability. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 01:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

As a reminder, please try to limited additions to the article to individuals who can meet the notability criteria of WP:BIO (follow that link to see the criteria). Your additions of T.J. Fantini and Bill Mitchell to the Anacortes, Washington article do not appear to meet that criteria. Also, please keep in mind what Wikipedia in not. This site is a world-wide encyclopedia, not a community forum. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:51, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
