Navy Cross
I'm reposting this from the IP address page in the hope that you will read it. Rogers cannot be added to the Navy Cross article because he has no wikipedia article, see how his name is red linked and every other one is blue??? Please understand that this is not a judgement about the person, just that he does not meet the notability threshold for an article on Wikipedia. See WP:Notability and WP:SOLDIER. At some point continued additions might be assumed to be vandalism. --Dual Freq (talk) 04:25, 17 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm sure that all three people that removed your addition to Navy Cross are aware that Gerald W. Rogers received the Navy Cross. The problem is that the list on that page is for persons with articles on wikipedia. Without his own article on wikipedia, he can not be included on that page. And before you create an article about him, please consider WP:Notability and WP:SOLDIER to ensure that he meets criteria there. A single award of the Navy Cross is usually not enough to establish notability without additional items on that list. Thanks, --Dual Freq (talk) 18:02, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Please, read the above. There would need to be a biographical article about Gerald W. Rogers on Wikipedia to add him to Navy Cross. His name will continue to be removed if there is no article. --Dual Freq (talk) 22:04, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

You should also note that not all recipients with wikipedia articles are listed at Navy Cross. Many of the ones listed are highly notable in that they have multiple Navy Cross awards, a Medal of Honor or a Navy ship named after them. Others became a high profile public figure, like a Governor or Senator, etc. There are over 700 persons with wikipedia articles in Category:Recipients of the Navy Cross (United States), they can't all be listed in the Navy Cross article and we can not list people who don't even have wikipedia articles there either. That is why there are list articles like List of recipients of the Navy Cross in the Vietnam War. --Dual Freq (talk) 04:34, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
