Hi, Louise. Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your work on the above named article. Unfortunately, I had to remove it. When writing about people especially you must have references. In notable people lists, those references are usually provided by linking to their biography on Wikipedia. Notable may not mean the same thing here as it means to you. On Wikipedia, it simply means that person meets the requirements to have their own biography. Search the names you are trying to add in the Wikipedia search box and then when you re-enter them on the article, put the square brackets around the exact title of their bio. I have not yet checked to see if they have articles. If the journalist won a Pulitzer, he should have an article. By the way, we don't use vague terms like "award winning". I got a prize for a picture in my high school newspaper, so technically I am an award winning journalist. The veteran is most likely a no, as only the medal of honor makes an American vet automatically notable. The notability rules for biographies are found at WP:BIO. If I can be of any help, feel free to write me on my talk page. I'll leave you some introductory links to help you get started on Wikipedia. Thanks for being here.
