Hobeywood
Somebody's weekend house by the lake. Claims to non-notability: around the same lake that Ernest Hemingway visited as a boy. Of course, the lake is 4300 acres in size. Put up by current owner, who describes himself as a 'socialite' and a '21st century Casanova' - in the article. (Of course, somebody immediately wikified 'Casanova'. and '21st century'.) Hornplease 06:29, 11 May 2006 (UTC) Hobeywood is the new name for the home. It was once called The Cedars, during Ernest's time. Ernest grew up on the very same lake, directly across the way, and spent much time. This is, as stated in the article, one of the oldest homes on the lake. It was built around the same time as Hemingway's, the families were friends. Included in the Hobeywood collection are the light fixtures from Hemingway's original boyhood home, and more importantly to the article numerous postcards featuring a young Ernest in the lake with the cottage visible in the background. In response to the first posting above, the owner doesn't claim to be a socialite, the owner claims that the socialite Andrew Hobey is a frequent visitor. This house is an important piece of american literary history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.180.120 (talk • contribs)

 * Delete House that was visited by some people? As far as notability goes, ranks with anyplace bearing a sign that says "Lincoln slept here". Fan1967 15:16, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, trivial and insignificant location loosely associated in a few people's minds with American literary history. The Revolutionary War being as it was, George Washington slept in more houses and inns than Abraham Lincoln or, uh, this Andrew Hobey non-notable fellow.  Barno 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hemingway's light fixtures do not meet standards of notability. Andrew Hobey turns up 21 google hits, all of which seem to refer to a cross-country runner from East Lancaster who has made no claims to being a billionare playboy industrialist, or what have you. My guess is either WP:VAIN or WP:HOAX is in effect here. --21:07, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
