[edit] Herman Hill riot

Herman Hill riot (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I couldn't find any source on the Internet dealing with this event. There is a book source though, but I tend to believe this is a non notable subject. This article is orphaned and tagged of being of unclear importance since last June -- lucasbfr ^talk 12:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - book source is unverified; no evidence of notability outside the Wichita area. Walton monarchist89 13:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - Could you clarify what you mean by "book source is unverified"? The book itself is verification, so I'm not sure what you meant. Thanks, Black Falcon 00:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - per WP:Notability, especially given that the title of book, Wichita Police Department History, and it sourcing (p. 186-187) implies that the riot was only briefly mentioned in the book. Black Falcon 00:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep - I'm changing my vote to a weak keep based on the facts that:

1. The incident was the basis for a song by a notable band.
2. It is mentioned in a number of Wichita and Sedgwick County documents, so there may be additional print information on the subject to establish notability. Perhaps we could notify members of WikiProject Kansas or WikiProject U.S. History (if such projects exists) as they might have more information. Black Falcon 02:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep Here's an Internet source that indicates that the band Manilla Road recorded a song titled "Herman Hill" based on the riot described in this article. --Richard 02:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - additional sources include [1] (skip to page 94 of 127) and [2] (skip to page 38 of 50). Black Falcon 02:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
