Ancestor of the Bush family whose only real claim to notability is being director of the St. Louis National Bank. Is that enough? I am neutral. --Michael WhiteT·C 15:47, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep diffently enough! There are many articles that should go before this one.Thright (talk) 19:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)thright

*Delete, The St. Louis National Bank isn't notable, and there are thousands of banks and therefore thousands of bank directors. I also don't think every distant member of the Bush family deserves an article simply for being a Bush. KnightLago (talk) 21:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep, knowing that certainly changes things, nice find. KnightLago (talk) 21:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, founder of J.H. Wear, Boogher & Co., a major wholesaler in St. Louis, which in 1870 was the 4th largest city in the US and a mercantile center for the entire American West. (Company profile in here) --Dhartung | Talk 21:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - I'd say he's independently notable, though WP:V is a little weak without sources. -FrankTobia (talk) 05:03, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
