Talk:Frank Stilwell

message: Wups, you got the name spelled wrong (just one l in the middle), and so do all three of your references! Correct spelling is that given in the indictment for Stilwell's murder in Tucson. See  also . Roy B. Young gives a copy of Frank C. Stilwell's original signature on page 111 of his book Cochice County War, and it is certainly Stilwell with 3 l's. Moreover, Stilwell is a brother of the moderately famous Western Indian scout Simpson Everett "Comanche Jack" Stilwell, also certainly spelled with 3 l's. See  for bio and (yes) correct spelling with one l in the middle. SBHarris 00:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Simply fails WP:BIO. Subject was a minor character in the Tombstone/OK Corral saga that achieved little in the way of notability on his own. Article had some refs that no longer function (mostly to non-reliable sources). It does cite one book as a reference (although without any inline citations) and in explaining it's relevence, even the article author refers to Stilwell as a "minor Tombstone character".

replies: text: Frank Stilwell (note they spelled his name wrong) has a life-sized statue in Tucson. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1QE7 How many of the forgettable soccer goalkeepers that WP keeps track of as BLP figures, have a public statue of them, anywhere?  Not a great deal is known about F. Stilwell, although more is being collected as time goes by. I suggest you give it some more time. He is a pivotal figure. He probably murdered Morgan Earp, or else was in the party that did. His murder by Wyatt Earp (one of just two men Wyatt was thought to have killed without assistance) is the reason for the arrest warrants issued for Earp, Holliday, Johnson and McMasters, that finally drove Earp and Holliday out of Arizona, never to return. As such, somebody has had to play Stilwell in every film about Tombstone and Earp.  People want to know about Stilwell. His Wiki page was viewed 1837 times in just the month of Dec. 2009, and gets 50 hits a day or so. http://stats.grok.se/en/200912/Frank%20Stilwell  How many BLP figures can you say the same of? The major source of the public's correct info on the man (like his name spelling) is actually the page you want to delete. He gets about 40,000 hits on Google, most of them to the right guy. But many of them are due to this page. SBHarris 05:40, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Number of views means little. I'd be willing to bet that most of them got here the way I did, from a WL on a page about someone else or an article about Tombstone. Ghits mean even less. What does matter is notability. Most coverage about his is not significant in its depth. He is a mention, a footnote. What he probably did, doesn't make him notable. You mention that he was portrayed in movies. Yes, he is, as a minor role by a minor actor. Give it more time? This article is 3 and a half years old. The man has been dead for almost 128 years. How much more time? He existed. He was part of the saga. That doesn't make him notable in his own right. I agree that there are a lot of BLP's that I don't feel are all that notable. But this isn't a BLP and I don't feel Stilwell is that notable.Niteshift36 (talk) 19:13, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Can you give a link to the document? I'm willing to accept a document with a "wrong" spelling. All we know is that both Frank and his brother Jack wrote their names with 3 l's. That doesn't mean the person who filled out the census form got it right. This would be helpful in pinnning down Frank's correct place of birth. Does it have a birth year for him, or his age in 1860? He would have been about 24 to coincide with the 1880 census figures. SBHarris 10:04, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
