[edit] Eva McGown ?

Can somebody establish this person's importance? --AW 14:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Not much beyond regional. She seems to have been a proactive person in her community but frankly not to have done anything anyone really cares about. -Ĭ₠ŴΣĐĝё 07:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I agree that her importance is as a regional figure. She is, however, an important character in the history of Fairbanks: An early resident, a local celebrity, and the subject of some national attention for her charitable work. The article needs some editing to make that more clear. -- Shunpiker 14:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
"Regional" does not equate to unimportant. If it did, then we could toss out probably about 85% of all articles about state legislators. Certainly Eva McGown has a great deal of important to Fairbanks and Alaska history. But yes, the article needs some work. I'll try to do it over my lunch. --Yksin 16:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
P.S. I'm copying this conversation over to the that article's talk page. --Yksin 16:49, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

The extensive references to articles about Mrs. McGown both before and after her death provide sufficient testament to her importance.Ehol (talk) 22:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
