Proposed deletion of Stan VanderWerf


The article Stan VanderWerf has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Cahk (talk) 09:17, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Citing sources
In this series of edits you added a number of external links to the Stan VanderWerf page. It appears that these links are intended to verify the content of the article, but to do that, you should use citations, not external links. Please see Citing sources for information on how to do that. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 01:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Got it! Thank you WikiDan61! I'm working on finding citations to replace some of these now. It looks like many of them have been corrected or removed by other wiki editors. This is helpful information. Thanks, again for the insight! PeytonRose (talk) 17:04, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

VanderWerf
I see you've contacted several editors trying to explain your creation of the Stan VanderWerf page, citing his "Medals of Honor". There is in the United States a Medal of Honor; it is the highest award available to a member of the military, and its receipt is generally counted as a strong sign of notability at Wikipedia. VanderWerf has not been awarded that medal. The medals he has won (based on prior versions of the article) are lesser medals that do not generally automatically denote notability.

Thanks, WikiDan61 for helping me better understand. Didn't realize that the only the Medal of Honor was good enough. So, why would other service Medals like the ones I found on Tom Cotton's and other veterans be included in their page and not get flagged for removal? Shouldn't they all be removed? Thanks, again for your help!
 * No, other medals need not be removed. If a person is otherwise notable, then a properly-sourced narrative of their military record is an appropriate part of their biography, but the medals alone are not sufficient to establish a person's notability.
