Notability

I'll assume from the interest in this article many people know about Loving, but there's nothing in the article that established notablity. His claim to notability seems to be having the trail named after him, but as the article says, it was used by other cattlemen before.

The Cowboy Hall of Fame does NOT have the same criteria for notability as Wiki does. Apparently according to this, for example, one could get into the the Hall of Fame simply by giving $1,000,000 to an art museum, or just by being honest, self-sufficient, and having integrity.
