Re: Gerald Gustafson

See Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion and notability guideline. An article about a person has to assert their importance or significance, since Wikipedia doesn't accept just any article. Additionally, the fact that he is your grandfather means you should not be writing an article about him since you have a conflict of interest. If he is notable, other people will write it. --Tom (talk - email) 13:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Air Force Cross may be a distinguished award, but it isn't necessarily a reason for him to have a Wikipedia article. Again, you have to remember that you are biased on this issue since he was your grandfather. --Tom (talk - email) 02:36, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 02:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gerald Gustafson DRV

Hi, thanks for your message regarding this Deletion Review. What will happen is that after five days (or perhaps sooner if a very clear consensus emerges) an uninvolved admin will review the Deletion review and make a decision on whether to restore the article. I think the deletion review is moving in such a way that I am confident the article will be restored at the end of the deletion review as it does not seem to meet the speedy deletion criteria. However someone may take it to articles for deletion once it has been undeleted, so a full discussion might be held on whether it meets the relevant notability guideline. Let me know if you have any more questions regarding the process and I will be glad to answer them for you. Davewild (talk) 17:14, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've nominated your article for deletion. You may participate in the discussion here. --Tom (talk - email) 17:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We do not need to mention every episode that every person has ever appeared on. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not copy of Lauper's daily planner.-- The Red Pen of Doom 15:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AF Portal Nomination

I don't have any objections to a spotlight of Colonel Gustafson on the AF Portal, though I think the biography spotlight would be more appropriate than article spotlight. However, there it's much in his Wikipedia bio to go off of. Can you add more info? Ideally I'd like the spotlight to be a summary of his Wikipedia bio and include a sentence or two on his education, a paragraph on his service (3-4 sentences), and a sentence or two on his post-service life. A good example is the spotlight article on Colonel DeBellevue.--Ndunruh (talk) 14:27, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing. A photo would really help a lot too.--Ndunruh (talk) 14:38, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I got the photo up, thanks for the upload. I'll draft up an AF Portal article based on the page shortly. Due to the length of the article itself my plan is to include it as a 'did you know' forcusing on his service during Vietnam rather than a spotlight.--Ndunruh (talk) 22:11, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've created the DKY page. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.--Ndunruh (talk) 14:41, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
