What does the S. stand for?

[edit]

In doing research for this article, I could not find concrete proof of what the S. stand for it. However, from what I did find, I believe it is likely that it stood for Sutherland. His father's middle name was Sutherland, and both he and his brother Graham used S. as an initial occasionally. In the 1920 census, his sister is referred to as "Southerland." This information is speculation and does not belong in the article. However, since people who read the article will likely be interested in what the S. stands for, I thought I would post what I found on the talk page. -JCarriker 16:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article is short, but please consider that it is well over twice the length of any bio that has existed before. -JCarriker 13:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA/R Results

[edit]

As per this article's GA/R discussion, in a unanimous 4 to 0 decision, this article has been delisted, for several reasons. The most obvious one is there's no lead, an article can't comply with WP:LEAD if it doesn't have one. There were several other problems identified though, it might be faster just to read about them in the GA/R, archived here: Wikipedia:Good article review/Archive 28#Gordon Griffith.
