(There are twenty-two sources on the Martin article, including a book on his life and that of the companies. Wikipedia rejected the article on grounds that he was "not notable", despite his being one of the largest timber owners in the nation and a "Louisiana Legend" by PBS. Two attempts to appeal failed. There were scurrilous attacks made on the author by the Wikipedia editors.)
