Talk:Hurricane Smith

edit warring; seeking consensus

This page brought to my attention by discussion on User talk:70.23.199.239. Stephen M. Smith, formerly described as Hurricane Smith, does not have a wikipedia page and therefore does not need to be disambiguated. The disambiguation page, on its face, states: This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title. Wikipedia:Disambiguation explains more about disambiguation pages; see also Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(disambiguation_pages)#Redlinks which discusses this situation more closely. If the editors who have re-included this text think that the professor needs a wikipedia article, then an entry on the disambiguation page may be in order. As it stands, however, it doesn't appear that Stephen M. Smith needs either to be listed or disambiguated. --lquilter 13:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's an article now. Yakuman (数え役満) 00:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's no longer an article. I suppose there was a brief article that was removed for non-notability? (Found it) At any rate, it looks to me like there is no need for a non-existent article on this person to be disambiguated. If Yakuman (the person who has replaced this text and written the article) agrees then Yakuman or I can delete. --lquilter 15:16, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is just more of an ongoing campaign against one user. Article is notable and cited. You know, there were times in my life when I've been bullied and mistreated -- and I wished someone would stick up for me. Well, I'd rather light one candle than curse the darkness:

Smith's story was recognized by significant press coverage.
Smith's story was recognized as innovative and unique by the Muscular Dystrophy Association in its house magazine. MDA is significant in issues regarding ALS.
Smith is recipient of significant personal dedication: a fundraising and goodwill campaign.
Smith created a significant project, a non-profit as a proposed fundraising model for other ALS patients.
That Smith opted to keep teaching even as his body is self-destructing is also significant.
Smith himself is historically relevant an important model of how one can persevere against fatal illness.
The article is cited, verifiable, and written in good faith.
The article contains neither original research, personal attack, vanity content, nor ideological agenda.

Campaign against which user? 70.23*/Nicholas Stix? It's clear from the edit history of this page that 70.23*/Stix only intervened on this page because he was reverting an edit by 130.* in pursuit of an ongoing edit war between those IP addresses. If you're trying to "stick up for" 70.23.* by fostering this Stephen M. Smith page then (a) you're wasting your time b/c 70.23* has evinced no interest in the substance of this page; and (b) you're making a WP:POINT. --lquilter 17:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's clear from the edit history of this page that you only intervened on this page to carry on a fight with 70.23*/Nicholas Stix. Yakuman (数え役満) 17:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

??? I haven't made any edits to this page. I'm only on the talk page because you pointed me to this page! (diff). But I'm unwatchlisting it now, so you can feel free to tinker with this page and associated subpages as much as you like in support of 70.23.*. --lquilter 18:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Smith

My grandfather, Chuck Smith, wrestled under the names Tiger Chuck O'Neil and Hurricane Smith in Sioux Falls in the 30's. He was Lakota, but took the name "Chuck Smith" because being Indian in 1930's was more dangerous than wrestling randos at the county fair. If one of the local farmboys could pin him they'd win $10. If you know anything about him please post. It is hard to track someone named Chuck Smith. 2601:647:CD02:7370:616D:923F:61BA:C6BE (talk) 20:47, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
