HouseBlaster (talk | contribs) bold WP:BLAR. I cannot find any SIGCOV for the life of me, this article has been in *terrible* shape since its creation in 2005, and I do not see any content that could be merged into Bob Livingston. If you disagree, feel free to revert; I'm asking for forgiveness, not permission (aka WP:BEBOLD). Tag: New redirect |
