[edit] Col. F.M. Seymour, S.C.C.

Not notable. No information found on the same. Linked sites on article have no information. -- Krash 16:19, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Per nom, not notable. -- Jbamb 16:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rename This is a stage persona, the real person metioned in the article is Frances Seymour. If this Seymour is notable, write about him and mention the Colonel as a stage persona, not the other way around. It is similar to writing an article on Captain Picard using the biographical details of Patrick Stewart. Person and persona should not be confused. -- (aeropagitica)  17:56, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, I quite agree. Dan 17:58, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rename, Article is not helped by getting his real name wrong. It is "Frank Merrill Seymour". For which a Google search turns up this obtiuary in the Magic Times from where there is a link to a longer obituary in a newspaper: which also suggests that the article has the date of his death wrong.

Additionally: This site says "John Crippen began studying magic in 1975, as a student of the legendary Col. Frank Seymour". There is a trick here credited to COLONEL SEYMOUR, but it is not clear that this is the same magician. It seems that there is a "Colonel C R F Seymour", but this appears to be somebody quite different (see here and here). Colonel Frank Seymour's "Free Museum of Magic" gets a mention here.

• Delete. Not notable. Apparently no major news outlet bothered to comment on his death, and even that Arkansas newspaper just published a small note on him. JoaoRicardo^talk 20:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
