I would like to have an open discussion about the importance of this page. Ron Prichard has been an important part of preserving the great works of golf course architects such as Donald Ross, Seth Raynor, A.W. Tillinghast, Willie Park, Jnr., William Flynn, and others. His work has been recognized on numerous occasions and he has the awards to show for it. The site is still being designed (it will probably take a few days), and therefore is still missing much vital information. But I can assure you that without Ron Prichard these classic courses would be lost to history. That is why I think he deserves a space on Wikipedia. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moneybags15 (talk • contribs)

I've added a {{hangon}} to this page. First off Moneybags15, you need to stop reverting the Speedy delete edits. Second it appears that your drafting the page in it's main namespace has been taken as spam you should probably use a subpage of the talk namespace like /draft to draft the page. I don't personally know the notability Ron Prichard so if this isn't enough to save the page then so be it. Also in contest to the nn-autobio I have seen no evidence that this is an autobio to begin with.TehSpud (talk) 23:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Ron the phrase "this site" above may be just loose wording or may indicate a misconception on your part: Wikipedia is not Myspace. Please create your own website somewhere else. If the AFD decision is "keep", then: add a link here to your website; reduce the design philosophy section to one sentence and reduce the list of courses to those that already have Wikipedia articles. (And if you don't do those edits, I will do them for you!) -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 11:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid you're jumping to conclusions, I can with almost full certainty say that Moneybags15 is not Ron Prichard. If you check the credits on Image:0529prichard2.jpg it is "Self Made" Authored by "David Kubica". Although the argument that the article is being made by someone close to Ron can still be made.

The words my were in the article becasue I have been working off of an autobiography composed by Ron Prichard himself. The image is "Self Made" because I have attempted to post images in the past, and, even though I had permission and gave credit, the image was still taken down. I am a friend of Ron Prichard and I am also an avid golfer, however, I do not see why that should affect the notability of this page? I do still need to post the plethora of awards that ha has achieved, number of famous golf courses he has designed, and more famous events that have been held at his courses if that makes any difference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.29.24.61 (talk) 15:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
