nothing establishes claimed notability or even really why he is a person of interest from this era Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 06:00, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As stated in the article, he was considered to be a significant figure in Utah's unusually contentious and drawn-out statehood efforts. The sources currently cited in the article are skimpy, but Google Books turns up hundreds of hits[1] that cite his importance, and Google Scholar turns up a 1973 article in the Utah Historical Quarterly that goes into considerable detail about him.[2] Admittedly he's no Brigham Young notability-wise, but still seems like a legitimate subject of interest in the context of Utah history.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If you can fold that into the article, I would be happy to withdraw. As is, it looks just like a name pulled from a who's-who with a cool pic.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:26, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Er, unfortunately, now that you brought it up and I looked at it more closely, the picture that was in the article was evidently the wrong Isaac, shorthand inventor Isaac Pitman. There is a photo of beardless Isaac Trumbo at the Utah state history website[3], and it's perhaps public ___domain because of its age, so maybe we can add that one instead, if Wikipedia guidelines permit. I did add the reference to the article about him.-Arxiloxos (talk) 17:30, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
