A tag has been placed on Donald Matthew Wagner, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -SpuriousQ (talk) 19:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Silver Star
Hi -

Thanks for your note. The thing about the Silver Star bothered me a little, too, but there it was staring me in the face. I actually tried to get the Norman Dike page deleted last year. At best it's a page about a non-notable person; at worst it's a case of character assassination by television show. (Yeah, he was depicted as a bad officer by Steven Ambrose, but the TV show made him worse, imo.) I was never able to get enough support for a deletion. One person said he was famous because he was on TV. Truth is we don't know very much about Dike after WW II. He may have fought valiantly in Korea. Or he may have sat on the staff at some Stateside army post.-- Jim in Georgia  Contribs  Talk  19:25, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
