Charles Ogburn Jr
Non-notable person, if a real one at all. There's no Wikipedia page for this person (under several variations of the name) and, even expanding a Google search to just "Charles Ogburn", less than 600 results. &mdash;LrdChaos 14:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. This article claims the origin of the famous supposed Petronius Arbiter quote about reorganization. Although the Arbiter origin is either wholly discredited or at least highly dubious (I forgot which, offhand), there is no evidence provided here that this unidentified person is the origin, either. The additional superfluous statement about its relevance to the American army (however true) suggests that the editor is merely attributing the quote to someone who is critical of that organization. (I've got news for this person: I've never seen any large organization, whether it be military, civilian government, commercial, or purely social, that would fail to understand this aphorism.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
