This person does not appear to be notable. His books are published by Schiffer Publishing, a company that requires authors to pay for their book to be published (see this discussion [1]). There is no evidence that his work has had sufficient wider impact to justify a Wikipedia article. Perchloric (talk) 01:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I tagged the article for probable lack of notability, please discuss here on the talk page before removing the tag. One source was added, but as the tag notes, notability is established by "adding reliable, secondary sources about the topic", and the added source is just another collection of unverified claims. E.g. he is not the editor of the Army Officers Guide, according to Amazon. If he were notable his books would be reviewed in professional historical journals, discussed at professional historical conferences, etc. Evidence of such prominence is lacking.

Foofighter is right - -Dalesandro is editor of the Officer's Guide for sure. In addition, I know that Schiffer press is not a self publishing press; in fact, it is one of the largest military history presses in the United States. Dalesandro's book on the American Expeditionary Force won the Army Hertiage Foundation pprize for Best New Reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AEF1918 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
