Sourcing Update

This Flickr page contains information and a possible book source. It needs to be summarised and the book found if possible for verification purposes. Hanenosuke (talk) 08:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The book which contains the information cited in this article, produced by St. John's Cathedral, is out of print and there are currently no plans to republish it. It was published in the UK by a certain Doreen King, but no other information has been forthcoming and the last copy in the church office seems to have disappeared.

General Information

Welcome to the Talk Page. I started this article because I wanted to know the story of the person buried at the Memorial Cross. I will be adding references from the book I found the information in, and see if I can find some birth records/newspaper clippings/other media so I can develop this article with proper sources.

Admirable, but what exactly is Mr Maxwell notable for? He appears to be a dead soldier, nothing more. Wikipedia requires that subjects be notable. It would be better that you take the article to user space and develop it, if notability can indeed be established, with sources. As it stands it is making no actual claim to notability and at serious risk of deletion under A7 criteria. I suspect that simply being buried somewhere is not enough! --ClubOranje^T 11:33, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, ClubOranje! I suppose he is notable for being the person buried at the Memorial Tombstone in Hong Kong? Local hero John Osborn has a statue for throwing himself on a grenade; perhaps poor Maxwell can be considered notable for being on the receiving end of a Japanese bullet/bayonet and getting a monument for it. I will have to make physical trips to various offices here in Hong Kong but I can get sources. Perhaps it would be better to change the title to "St. John's Cathedral Memorial Tombstone" and include it as a subsection of the St. John's Cathedral (Hong Kong) article.--Hanenosuke^T) 12:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
