 * Delete unless evidence of notability provided. I added Sam Smith to LrdChaos's nomination of Samuel Lee Smith because they were both created by the same anonymous user and appear to be about the same person. (I have no idea why they made one an intro-less quote article and the other a quoteless intro article.) I think they should be considered together, as it's at least possible that one solid article could be made from them. Currently, there is no WP article for "Samuel Lee Smith", "Samuel L. Smith", or "Sam L. Smith", and "Sam Smith" redirects to Samuel Smith, which does not include anyone as described in our current "Samuel Lee Smith" article. The Faith Christian Church link provided in SLS is just its main page; it doesn't include any info on "Pastor Sam". It took some digging, but I found an article on the Center (that mentions Smith) at SouthCoastToday.com, the online face of The Standard Times, a New Bedford, Massachusetts newspaper. I found no source for the sole quote in SS. All in all, it sounds like a relative unnotable, however fond of him his parishioners may have been. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
