Talk:Richard Packham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I see that this page has been (automatically?) fingered for speedy deletion... I was the author of the original page (yesterday) which was deleted due to "bio- no assertion of notability outside writing some articles on a personal website". I have re-created the article and attempted to demonstrate why Richard Packham is notable. He has helped literally hundreds, if not thousands of people out of Mormonism (and God only knows how many people have been prevented from joining). He has also established a tax-exempt, non-profit organization for helping other ex-Mormons cope with the stress and difficulties inherent with leaving the religion. Unless you're Mormon, you may not know or care who Richard Packham is. However, within the Mormon/Ex-Mormon community, he's huge. If Jeff Lindsay (Mormon apologist of some repute) gets a page, then Richard Packham (ex-Mormon antagonist who is something of a peer to Jeff Lindsday) should definitely have one.
[edit] Lyrics Writer
Richard Packham is the writer of lyrics for Ben Lomond High School's Hymn, and is linked to the Ben Lomond High School Page. He is also referenced by many other pages in Wikipedia, I encourage those with the power to leave Richard Packham's article alive, and whole.--Trickse 08:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
