Merge

I agree that "Johnny Kelley" should be merged, but get the right article: it should be merged with John A. Kelley and not John J. Kelley. --Pjmorse 22:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. It was a duplicate article, and I've just copied +pasted the info from the other that wasn't in this one. Feel free to tidy it up were necessary. The other article now redirects here. Lugnuts 13:22, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mix-up?

I think some of the information about Kelley Sr. credits him with achievements of Kelley Jr.--particularly the 1959 Pan Am Games marathon championship. Kelley Sr. was 52 in 1959; is it possible that he actually won that race as the article states? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.86.137.48 (talk) 03:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Not only highly unlikely, but not mentioned in the cited obituaries, nor in any other literature I have seen. This looks like a mistake more than a mix-up with Kelley Jr., as I have yet to find evidence that the latter was the Chicago games gold medal winner either. I have removed all mention of the Pan Am. games in the Kelley Sr. article, and will not add same to the Kelley Jr. article unless reliable sourcing turns up.

Found it. You were entirely right. John J. Kelley was the winner at Chicago. Added the information, with citation, to his article. This achievement had been mistakenly attributed to the elder Kelley. Hertz1888 (talk) 12:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
