Of the three major criteria for Wikipedia entry,


 * notable
 * independent
 * reliable

I'd like to establish the notable attribute first.

This article just in:

which should also add to the reliable and independent criteria.

In my judgement, William J. McGowan is a notable biography page because


 * of the roughly 1500 names of MIA on the wall at the Normandy American Cemetery, he is one of few than 20 who've been moved to the KIA status
 * that his remains were identified 74 - 75 years after his death is remarkable in it's own right, and
 * there was no published history of his deed for 75 years.

I've withheld updating the draft page with the reference until we can resolve "notability".

Thank you,

 * Thanks for the [1] reference; I knew it was out there, having seen it last summer, it looks like the day after my original effort. I'm retrieving it now.
 * b.t.w i'm really struggling to communicate in this venue Applemcg (talk) 15:43, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
