This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
I'm thinking that this person may be the same person as Stuart Wood. I say this because there are no sources showing him as a separate person, and the RCMP's list of former Commissioners does not include him, him but does include Stuart. There is also a grave, shown here: http://www.rcmpgraves.com/commissioner/wood.html, showing the name "Stuart Zachary Taylor Wood" on the headstone. According to the RCMP site, as I stated above, (http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/former-rcmp-commissionershttp://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/former-rcmp-commissioners), Stuart is the only member of the Wood family to serve in the top rank, and no sources have contradicted this to date. Likewise, all of our sources have shown the Stuart Wood's father was John Taylor Wood, not Zachary. (This article states that John Taylor Wood is Zachary Taylor's father as well, which would be impossible, if Stuart is supposedly Zachary's son). I have been unable to locate any publication confirming Zachary Taylor Wood's existance, only that of Stuart Zachary Taylor Wood. All this leads me to beleive that this is a duplicate article created out of confusion somewhere, given the Stuart Zachary's name seems to get varied from site to site.

I have removed the deletion tag. Zachary Taylor Wood and Stuart Wood are not the same person, born 29 years apart. They are father and son. One died in the United States. One died in Canada. They are not the same person, and need two different articles. — Maile (talk) 00:39, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Maile66:Check into what I said. None of the sources prove that. The dates must've been fabricated, and the grave proves that the names "Stuart Taylor Wood" and "Zachary Taylor Wood" both originated from the same name, that being "Stuart Zachary Taylor Wood". There is also no proof of the Z.T.W. ever serving in the RCMP, let alone as Commissioner, while there is proof that S.Z.T.W. served as Commissioner at around the same time Z.T.W. supposedly did.

The page brought up for the grave (rcmpgraves) has a page about Stuart stating Zachary to be the father, putting him as Assistant Commissioner, which would make clear why not being listed as Commissioner, right over here. A quick google search brings the same information (father of the later and Assistant) in several books and on several pages. More importantly, Zachary is listed as Commissioner of Yukon and included at their governmental page (with dates and picture) right over here. ...GELongstreet (talk) 13:16, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
