[edit] Private Phillip Lynch
Memorial. People who give their lives for freedom should be remembered, and this one is. But WP:NOT a place for memorials Outlander 21:56, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. He also deserves to have his name spelled correctly. Philip Lynch gets a couple of google hits as a Korean war casualty, but they only state that he was there; no other notability. Chick Bowen 22:07, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. as per above. DannyZz 00:10, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete No indication of notability for this soldier while I respect his service. Our Phillip Lynch article is currently about the same guy and should be deleted or replaced with an article on the notable Phillip Lynch, an Australian politician. What links here has a number of links relating to a notable Phillip Lynch who was John Howard's predecessor as Treasurer of Australia in the Malcolm Fraser Government between 1975 and 1977.

- Delete per Capitalistroadster, and I support his suggestion to convert Phillip Lynch into an article on the Australian politician. --Idont Havaname 02:06, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- I've redirected this, and I also support the move to make Phillip Lynch about the politician. DJ Clayworth 13:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- I see no need to redirect a page we're just going to delete anyway. Now we have to delete the redirect page Private Phillip Lynch AND rewrite Phillip Lynch ---Outlander 14:22, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- If Phillip Lynch is going to be about a politician, then it makes no sense to redirect Private Phillip Lynch there, unless the politician has some military service I don't know about. —Wahoofive (talk) 16:35, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- At this point we might as well delete both pages, as neither is about the notable politician. an article about the Australian treasurer can be written at a future date - --Outlander 16:57, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- I've rewritten Phillip Lynch as a stub about the Australian politician. If you don't mind, please fact-check it for me—I'm an American and don't know about any of this stuff. The info is available in a million places on the web, so I didn't cite a source, but if there's a standard site please add it. Chick Bowen 22:41, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

- Since Phillip Lynch is no longer about the Korean war private, I reverted DJ's redirect. We'll just have to wait for an admin to get around to deleting it. Chick Bowen 00:26, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
