[edit] Removals for reconsideration

_ _ An editor removed all the red-lk'd entries, apparently for no other reason. The removed entries are not all high priority to restore, but most of them should probably be put back, if only for the reason that their appearence on LoPbN increases the probability of an interested editor saying "What, there's no article on her??" and starting at least a stub.
_ _ They appear here (with their comments broken so they may be seen without editing this page):

• Hamilton, H. L., American automotive industrialist <! -- president of the Winton Motor Company (a part of General Motors Electro-Motive Division) -->

  linked from 4 articles & a WProject page

• Hamilton, Hugo Johan, Swedish soldier

  lk'd from 1 list "article" & a WProject page

• Hamilton, James, Irish jurist <! -- Director of Public Prosecutions -->

  lk'd from 1 list & 1 Dab "article"

• Hamilton, Jane, Canadian writer

  lk'd from 5 real & 1 list "article" & a WP:-namespace page

• Hamilton, John M. (1855-1916), American politician <! -- US Representative from West Virginia -->

  lk'd from 2 real & 1 Dab "article" & a WP:-namespace page.
  

Oddly enuf, i wrote "...no article on her??" before it registered on me that among these five, Jane Hamilton is the poster child for retaining rd-lk entries: I don't read her, but i know she's a major contemporary author. Google test gives

500 of about 69,900 for "Jane Hamilton " "map of the world" OR "Book of Ruth"

Random House is her publisher; NY Times, Oprah, PEN/Hemingway, Sigourney Weaver. I'm writing a stub myself, bcz i think it's urgent, and restoring the entry.
