Resume like. No particular notability is asserted. It lists his hobbies and familiy description. Clubmarx (talk) 18:40, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Keep: Disclosure: I am the primary writer for the Don Gilman entry. Don is very well known in the simulation community for keeping alive the Harpoon simulation following the financial collapse of Three-Sixty. In addition, he has moved the simulation to a new level, with professional military organizations, such as the Australian Department of Defense and United States Naval Institute, using it as a training aid for military professionals. Perhaps if I stressed the simulation's professional aspect more, the article would be more acceptable?

Delete He might be well known in the simulation community, but the policies that dicatate inclusion at Wikipedia are about notability, and verification using reliable sources. You would do good to read these policies, then you don't have to guess if the article passes or not. It isn't personal, it is about everyone to be included being held to the same three basic standards. As it stands now, the piece is compromised with wp:peacock terms and is a bit fluffy. I fail to see a bonified claim of notability, although it is likely short of a speedy delete under A7. P HARMBOY ( TALK ) 00:21, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
