Contested deletion[edit]

This article regarding my Great grand father Emile Armand Gibon should not be speedy deleted. It was recently created using family information as well as historical known public data. To my knowledge it does not duplicate any existing English Wikipedia topic. --G St-Germain (talk) 13:31, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is still very rough. It should be moved to userspace and worked on there until it is fit for "publication". As it is now it is completely unacceptable. If you would like some help with moving it into a draft space where you can work on getting it up to standard just reply here and I will move it for you.

Needs much better references[edit]

Currently the page has only two cites, the first is about Gibon's father. The second is only being used to cite the location of Gibon's grave. My understanding of French is rudimentary but it appears to contain quite a lot of detail about Gibon's career, it should be used in other places in the article.

This article needs more references because IMHO it currently doesn't quite meet the notability standard of en.WP. His name gets about 100 Google hits so there is some material out there. Offline sources such as military history books should also be used. Roger (talk) 07:11, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
