- comment: this is so far from being OR as to be a likely copyvio; and the source is easily verifiable: just check out a copy of Stewart Sifakis, Who Was Who in the Confederacy (1989) ISBN 0816022046. --Paularblaster (talk) 01:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, not OR and verifiable, unless someone has a copy of the reference book and can check that this information is inaccurate. Pburka (talk) 01:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep See "Confederate Military History: A Library of Confederate States History" By General Clement A. Evans, p 320 [1]. See "Stephen Dodson Ramseur: Lee's Gallant General" By Gary W. Gallagher p 121[2]. See "Histories of the Several Regiments and Battalions from North Carolina..." By Walter Clark, p422 [3]. There are many books which at least mention him hidden behing the "snippet view" which contain unknown amounts of detail. Satisfies WP:BIO. An ill-founded nomination apparently lacking any effort to find whether references existed. Edison (talk) 20:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
