I rejiggered your references with citation templates so that they would be rendered properly. I commented out your original text; you'll be able to see it when you edit. If you're unhappy with the changes, you can easily revert them by clicking the "History" tab on the article page to see the edit, then click "Undo" next to my edit. I named every reference tag to make it easy to match the tags with your original list of references.
Just to be clear, when Wikipedia editors talk about " notability", what they're really looking for is some independent third party writing about your article topic in some publication that they respect or recognize. Adding references to support your statements in the article is very good, but it will only help this article at AfD if the references are from reliable secondary sources. In practice, that excludes most blogs and discussion groups. Yappy2bhere ( talk) 18:43, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I did find a print text that referenced Patterson. I'm still trying to figure out how to do the techinical aspect of lining up the in text citation with the works cited at the end of the text. I don't think that I quite have it down. I included the in-text citation and the works cited. I think that the reference to the state of Tennessee and the Reilly reference should cover cover notability. Thanks for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NiJuShiHo ( talk • contribs) 18:02, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
