Your recent edit to Lakeview, Oregon appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Mark Bullard, the person for whom Bullard Canyon was named, was quite notable, and two paragraphs have already been written about him in this article. I will add his name back, along with a reference. Peter Chastain ^[¡habla!] 02:59, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have now removed Bullard's name from that list. The issue, IMO, is not whether he is notable (I believe he is), but whether people who have already been discussed in the history section should also be listed in a notable-people section. Wikipedia custom seems to be that they are not, and this practice is followed in the Lakeview article with respect to other historical people.
