[edit] Request for Comment

A page similar to this one. List of people from San Francisco, is currently under review as an article for deletion, for reasons which would apply to this article as well. I am conducting an RfC on the talk page of the above-mentioned list to determine whether the concensus agrees on keeping such lists or not. Any and all comments are more than welcome.

  • I replied on that talk page. For the record, I do think these types of lists are worth keeping, as long as they are kept clean and up-to-date.Ellipsis22 20:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX There are two items that I wish to mention, one of which is a correction.

First -- I think in keeping with having as thorough a picture of Cincinnati the fact that a suburb of that city namely Glendale was the very first planned suburb in North America should be noted somewhere in the article.

Second -- The Cincinnati Reds are not the direct decendents of the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The Red Stockings moved to Boston and Became the Boston Red Stockings in the National Association. They lasted from 1871 to 1875 when the NA went out of business. The Cincinnati Reds were created sometime in the 1880's in the American Association and after bouncing back and forth between the AA and National League they finally settled permanantly in the NL around 1890.

Perhaps one could say that Professional baseball got it's start in Cincinnati with the Redstockings and the tradition continues today with the Reds.

A third item. There was a photographer who spent his entire life from the time he was a boy , photographing Cincinnati. I believe his name was Ben Rosen but I'm not sure. Could there be a place for him since he did document the city for a few decades from the 30's to the 50's(I'm not sure of the years)?
