Barrie
Please take a moment to learn your way around Wikipedia. Working in a city does not make you notable in that city. Please only add people who were born in Barrie, or have lived there for a significant amount of time. Also, the section is called "notable people". Please see WP:CCSG. Also, when someone reverts one of your edits, it's generally frowned upon to just add your edit back without a good reason. Finally, please answer my question above. Thanks.

AfC on Arthur Britton Smith
Hi there, I had declined your Articles for Creation submission on Arthur Britton Smith. I think the subject does cross the notability threshold, but the article needs to be finessed to reflect the source of his notability before I can approve it. It seems to me that he is primarily notable for being a philanthropist, in addition to which he is also a war veteran, and then less importantly: a successful businessman and an author. The balance of content on your submission needs to reflect that. First, establish his notability and contributions as a philanthropist, especially in the lead section. Then, you can add that he is a decorated war veteran, and put in the details of his involvement in World War II. The Military Cross just falls short of crossing the notability guidelines for soldiers, but see Category:Recipients_of_the_Military_Cross, for articles of others who have received it - once you have this, you just need a little push from some other achievement, which I think Smith has. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message on my talk page. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 04:01, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I've spoken to some other Wikipedians who agree that the subject is notable, and so I've done some cleanup on the page to make it more encyclopedic. I think if you resubmit it now, it will pass. Let me know when you have. Cheers, Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 08:12, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
