He was real, huh? Good catch, Jonathan. TR (talk) 15:35, June 22, 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, Noble was real,though in historical memory he's been almost completely overshadowed by his partner, Barnes. Turtle Fan (talk) 16:17, June 22, 2016 (UTC)
- It's strange that there's not more info available on him, if this sedition trial was such a big thing. I couldn't even find a death date.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 20:16, June 22, 2016 (UTC)
- It's pretty disturbing to think that someone would be convicted of a political crime, then vanish from the historical record immediately afterward. Turtle Fan (talk) 21:23, June 22, 2016 (UTC)
- I would imagine there is a fairly extensive paper trail leading back to the 1940s but not much of an electronic one. Infamy becomes obscurity over time and so not much on the internet which would have been created over the last decade or so. In fact, looking at some of our older articles, I go and do a Google search these days and find much more info than we had back then. ML4E (talk) 15:46, June 23, 2016 (UTC)
- Indeed. And even a paper trail is not guaranteed. I have had a recent run of cases where attempts to verify prior convictions as recent as the early 1990s in other jurisdictions have yielded responses confirming the original records have been disposed of.
- Looking this fellow up, I did find an entry at a white supremacist answer to wikipedia. If not for the Sedition Trials, Noble, minor little pseudofascist that he was, would probably deserve his place in the dustbin. But given his his conviction for sedition, as TF said, his records should be more readily available. TR (talk) 16:12, June 23, 2016 (UTC)
