Talk:Cannon family

message: Can anyone tell me why several members of this family were removed from the listing? --TrustTruth 23:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names Removed 

message: David K. Nelson's inclusion in this listing does not appear to be appropriate. He is not noteworthy and does not appear to have served in any elected public office. In addition, the fact that he seems to have added his own name to the listing is odd. If no one objects in the next few days, I am going to remove him from the list. --TrustTruth 02:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Unless the David Keith Nelson information is restored, the reference to the Bush Family has no legitimate reason to appear on this page. He was the only known link between the Cannon and Bush families. Restore both or delete both. 12.72.169.120 00:11, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Feel free to delete the Bush info and to make any other legitimate edits to the article. --70.176.230.115 05:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that he should be re-included.  He WAS elected as a delegate to a major political party's national convention.  This was enough to merit his inclusion in the family at politicalgraveyard.com, and they're picky.  I don't know that he deserves a stand-alone wiki bio, but as part of the family, I believe he does deserve mention.  Dr U 04:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  David K. Nelson 

message: It seems to me that all the "brother of X, Y, Z" and the like should be chopped from the article -- they seem like vanity and most of them offer little or nothing in the way of understanding of the subject. --Improv 15:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Extraneous family ties

message: I put the existing references and some new references inline, added a new family-member reference (Theodore L. "Ted" Cannon Jr.), and deleted some non-political and non-governmental text and references that weren't relevant to this article. I suggest that the WP Warning about inline citations be deleted. I suggest also that the family-member references of James H. Cannon and Chet Cannon be edited to include political or governmental text and references, or that the family-member references be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.115.108 (talk) 22:24, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: New family member, in-line citations and miscellaneous clean-up

message: I added family members (Quayle Cannon Sr., T. Quentin Cannon, Quayle Cannon Jr. and Ralph S. Cannon). I added references for them and other family members. I deleted references of the relationships between the members. I made some minor corrections to some member names. Because of these and previous edits, I agree that the WP Warning about inline citations should be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.23.233.190 (talk) 02:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Added family members, references and minor corrections, and deleted relationships between members

message: Although this family has some English ancestry, the Cannon line is ultimately of Manx origin. The Isle of Man, is not, and never has been part of either the UK or England. I am retaining the English link, because of the Taylor side, not the Cannon side.--MacRùsgail (talk) 18:24, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Manx, not English

message: I have begun adding information about the family relationships between individuals in this article, in a new bulleted item, "Relationships," with sub-lists "Son of," "Husband of," etc., and would like feedback as to whether this is useful information (notwithstanding assertions to the contrary in Extraneous family ties, and Added family members, references and minor corrections, and deleted relationships between members, above). I think it is relevant, because this article is about a political family, rather than just a list of politicians, but I would like to see some discussion before proceding further. Some of this information was already in the article, under single "Also" bullets, but I think making sub-lists helps readability. Peter Chastain (talk) 16:50, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
