  • lawyer and prosecutors on the BC Rail/BC Legislature Raids case, also Bill Dohm, Assoc Chief Justice and if they don't have articles yet Justice Elizabeth Mackenzie. The Special Prosecutor's name was Bill Berardino I think; the surname is right anyways.

  • Ralph Edwards (naturalist), Crusoe of Lonesome Lake, trumpeter swan dude...his wife Frances Edwards also, Ruffles on my Longjohns. Those are only their two best-known. I think that's the way I disambiguated him on the Ralph Edwards page if it's still there.

The test for whether an unincorporated community qualifies for its own separate article, or just a redirect to the municipality that it's part of, is not a question of every named dot on a map automatically qualifying for its own article as a matter of course — it's a question of how well the community can be reliably sourced as a standalone topic. For South Baymouth to warrant its own separate article, what you would need to do is show sources which support the standalone notability of South Baymouth as a separate topic from Tehkummah.
