I have a lot of Kannapolis pictures on my hd, mostly from 1950-present day. Also have 8mega pixel photographs from the implosion on 3-24. I'm not sure how to get them to you or the article. Maybe I can assist you with the Cannon Mills article. Also just started the [[James William Cannon]] article...

You wrote the following at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/North Carolina Research Campus]]:


:'''Non-notable is your opinion, from your obscured view through the ether. This is the largest event in the history of my city. If your life were here, and you were standing here, this would not be a question.'''


==Kannapolis and Cannon Manufacturing Company==
You're assuming that I share your opinion of local notability being the same as encyclopedic notability. I would never write an article about some business complex construction in [[Stockholm]] unless it was super-notable and neither would I vote to keep one. I don't consider merely locally important events or terms to be either relevant or appropriate for Wikipedia. Don't hesitate to put my convictions to the test if you ever come across an article about mall constructions (or whatever) in Stockholm.


Are you going to write the article on Cannon Mills and its successors?

== Removal of A7 speedy template from article ==


I have just started the stub for the [[Cannon Mills Corporation]] article. Feel free to add as you see fit.
Please do not remove speedy deletion flags from articles. If you do not beleive the article qualifies for A7 then add the hangon template instead and discuss on the talk page. Thanks. — <FONT COLOR="#003366">[[User:Orioneight|orion]]</FONT><FONT COLOR="#999999">[[User:Orioneight|eight]]</FONT> <FONT SIZE="-2">([[User_talk:Orioneight|talk]])</FONT> 02:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

:Hey there, I don't know who deleted the article at [[Mike Caracciola]], but it shouldn't have been deleted right away, since you added the hangon template. I'd say recreate the article but this time make it a stub that doesn't qualify for speedy deletion. — <FONT COLOR="#003366">[[User:Orioneight|orion]]</FONT><FONT COLOR="#999999">[[User:Orioneight|eight]]</FONT> <FONT SIZE="-2">([[User_talk:Orioneight|talk]])</FONT> 02:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

The point isn't where the racer is "from". The point in question is where the racer was born.
