Please do not delete. He has a small but important part in Austrlian history. Shame on whoever is deleting this page. They are shamelessly ignorant. Wikipedia is supposed to call itself an encyclopedia --SO leave it. Lentisco 03:47, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

He was an investor and member of the Port Phillip Association. Im sorry to all those USA citizens to confront you with some historical facts that purport to be about somthing that did not happen in their country. But Im sure you are strong. Perhaps you could invade Tasmania and let it become the 52 state. And then the Port Phillip Association could become part of 'real'ie. US history. Lentisco 03:57, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


First, please refrain from personal attacks. Second, an investor and member of an association isn't worthy of their own page. Yanksox 03:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Being this man played a vital role in the formation of the city of Melbourne I do not believe he should be deleted. History is important and should be perserved.--Kev62nesl 03:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
