In viewing the list of WWII survivors, I note that my Aunt Blanche is not listed. Lt. Blanche Lyons was a US Army Nurse during WWII and served in the ETO in the Normandy invasion and at The Battle of the Bulge. I'd like to have her name listed among survivors. She will be 107 years-old on September 8, 2016. How do I go about doing that? Thank you.
 * I assume you mean the List of surviving veterans of World War II. In order to add Mrs. Lyons, she would have to be notable in the sense that reliable, third party sources have written about her. Since she's a survivor, additional restrictions apply, since Wikipedia is very careful about biographies of living persons (with good reason). If you have those sources, you can create an article about her and add her to the list, keeping in mind that it needs to have a neutral point of view, which is difficult if you are so close to the subject. I, personally, could not write an neutral article about any of my aunts if I tried. In any case, please confer my deepest respect to your aunt. Kind regards, Kleuske (talk) 01:35, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
