O.M. Stull
O.M. Stull should not be a wikilink. Stull invented the Old Hokie yell and is utterly cool for it, but that's the only thing he's notable for. Any O.M. Stull article would be a pathetic stub that would never grow:
O.M. Stull was a Virginia Tech student of the Class of 1896 who invented the Old Hokie spirit yell.
We're better off not having such an article in the Wikipedia; the
Old Hokie article more than covers it. If there are no objections within a couple days, I'm going to dewikify Mr Stull again and create an O.M. Stull redirect back to
Old Hokie. Let me know if you have any realistic objections.

Nope, only unrealistic objections... :) Who knows, perhaps he was a much more interesting guy and his great great grandchildren might get on and write a big old article about him. You're right that the snippet above represents all that I know about him, which is why it's only a "suggested link" and not a created stub article. (BTW, until yesterday, "Virginia Polytechnic Institute" was also just a suggested link, strangely enough, despite the fact that several pages had linked to it...)
But, point taken. It's fine with me if you want to de-wikify it. I'm not sure that a redirect is necessary, though, since no article currently exists and it's linked to only from
Hokies and
Old Hokie.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a hoo with that "realistic objection" comment. I dewikified Mr Stull, though I would like a little more biographical information about him. Alas, Google has nothing on him other than
Old Hokie.
