Speedy deletion of Donald W. Sublett
A tag has been placed on Donald W. Sublett requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Beano (talk) 20:58, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:Donald Sublett
Hi there. I have removed the tag requesting speedy deletion of this article, because I believe that the claim of winning the award is an least a claim of notability. However, please look at thelinks above. The article probably will still be deleted unless there are independent reliable sources that show notability. This is just my opinion, but from what I've seen, winning an meritorious service medal is not enough by itself to show enough notability for an Wikipedia article. For the same reason, I removed Sublett from the list of notable recipients of the medal, because at this point, there is nothing that shows why he is notable. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask (although I'm going off line for a bit). Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  21:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
