[edit] Charles D. Pou
This is a non-notable journalist. There are no related google hits for this name. There are no sources in the article for the assertion of him winning awards. Further, being married to a notable person, isn't in and of itself, notable. MBisanz talk 17:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Not true about Google -- you have to screen out the hits about unrelated people to find them, but they're there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkendr (talk • contribs) 19:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Speedy Delete Little or no hits on Google, and the Atlanta Journal has not given him any awards. Redmarkviolinist Drop me a line 17:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- KEEP article, which had been marked as a stub, has been revised and extended to include more detail and references; more to be added. Other reviewers are reminded that at the time of his retirement in 1970, the Internet in general and Google in specific had not been invented. If you sufficiently narrow your Google search, you will see that articles he wrote in the 1950s on the Georgia state flag and school desegregation debate are still cited by the state legislature. There is a lot of difficulty finding relevant articles on Google due to two prominent and unrelated people also named "Charles Pou" (one attorney, one a historian at the U. of Georgia). If you narrow searches to exclude those his contributions and achievements are much easier to find on Google. Also, his other contributions are not publicly searchable from the Atlanta Journal web site due to their age (pre-1985); likewise his obituary is no longer part of the "free" section of the archives.
