Notability?

He was present at a battle and was vice chief of a tribe. It seems this man had no other notability. I suggest merging or simply forgetting about him and concentrating on other uses of the term "Lame Deer." GeorgeLouis (talk) 19:50, 22 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

@GeorgeLouis: Did you read the references I added at the bottom of the article? The first two give lengthy accounts of Lame Deer's death at the Battle of Muddy Creek. The third one is a book about Crazy Horse, but Lame Deer's name crops up frequently and it is very clear he was an important person in Lakota politics. When I created the page I wrote the minimum necessary (actually, the text is left over from the dab page), but there is certainly a lot more that could be written. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me would write it. SpinningSpark 20:23, 22 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I just did a search on "Lame Deer" on Newspapers.com and got 3,754 hits and looking through them, all are about Lame Deer so far. Some very lengthy newspaper articles about him (for example). So, he is clearly very notable. --I am One of Many (talk) 22:16, 23 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
