Merge or Move

Resolved

Should this article be merged with Joseph "Diamond Jo" Reynolds Office Building and House? If not, there is a need for a move since the article contains a misspelling of the subject's nickname. I recommend, Joseph "Diamond Jo" Reynolds. Several sources cite the "Jo" spelling and this was also the spelling contained within the name of his packets, the "Diamond Jo Line."

I am not finding additional secondary sources for this article, so I doubt this biographical article will improve much. On the other hand, this biography might be moved into a section of the NRHP-listed building named for him.

Hi, I think having two articles is best, given the amount of info available about the two topics. It doesn't hugely matter though. And, about the name of this article, I just went ahead and moved it from "Joseph 'Diamond Joe' Reynolds" to "Joseph 'Diamond Jo' Reynolds", as it seems well explained that the latter is correct. --doncram 15:01, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request for image

Is there anyone who is good at finding images in the public domain? I am looking for a portrait of Diamond Jo Reynolds. A photo or illustration would work. Thanks. Oldsanfelipe (talk) 18:36, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
