Dr. David Burbank

... that David Burbank (pictured), a dentist, founded Burbank, California?
- Reviewed: Claiming the sixth DYK credit of nine from the nine-article hook at Template:Did you know nominations/Arellano Chiefs basketball

Created by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 04:38, 6 January 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Neat article. New and long enuf (created yesterday & 1800 char++ long), hook is interesting, QPQ done. No sign of copyvio. AGF on offline sources. (One of the refs is a bare URL but I expect that can be fixed ASAP so I won't unnecessarily hold up this nomination.) I have also taken the liberty of removing the "Dr." in the hook per longstanding policy on honorifics. Have a good day! KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 22:02, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I just found the bit about the railroad and am still looking for more. I'll complete the ref shortly. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:20, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Muboshgu and Kingoflettuce: I cannot find in the hook in the article or in a provided reference. Bruxton (talk) 03:50, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's right in the "Burbank, California" section... KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 11:43, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He bought the two tracts of land, put them together, sold them to a corporation that he was a part of that founded the town. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:32, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am having trouble seeing the whole thing, the hook states he founded it, but that is not so clear in our article. Also I also cannot access the references so I will leave it for another promotor. Bruxton (talk) 02:42, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do need to keep clipping articles. Does this help[1]? – Muboshgu (talk) 03:14, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It does. It seems obvious based on his name. Bruxton (talk) 03:43, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
