My suggesting is to keep populating the "works" section. I'll add something I just found. May not be enough. If the page is deleted, it could be userfied to a sandbox and built until it met standards for sourcing and notability. IMHO, the fellow was a regionally and nationally highly-regarded sportswriter, and such good stories deserve to be told. BusterD ( talk) 12:30, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
DYK hook will appear on the main page today for 8 hours beginning at 7pm, St. Paul time, if I read the Queue correctly. Thanks to both of you new wikifrends. BusterD ( talk) 12:50, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
If you're interested in another good topic for an article, consider Gordon Cobbledick. He was basically the Dick Gordon of Cleveland. He's clearly notable as he won the J. G. Taylor Spink Award, and much has been written about him that is available on-line. Despite this, he has no Wikipedia article. Cbl62 ( talk) 03:14, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
