Article lacks WP:A to establish WP:N[edit]

According to the referenced article, his only claim of notability was that he was the oldest living graduate of West Point at the time of his death.

This author ( Marxus (talk · contribs) ) has recently created a flurry of unreferenced hoax articles such as Stanley Lane and Harold F. Boice about NN WW-I veterans listed in Veterans of the First World War who died in 2005 (and 2006, 2004, etc.) ... see:

Please keep this article on Wikipedia![edit]

I will establish an account with wikipedia soon after posting this. However, I happened to be watching Pearl Harbor tonight on ABC, and it made me think of my grandfather, Colonel William Frank Steer. And as his granddaughter, I do wish to make it clear that he was, in fact, the oldest living graduate of West Point until his death last year, which makes the facts stated in this article correct and "notable."

I would like to see this article stay on Wikipedia, and from what I see in the article thus far, it is correct, however, there is so much more to his life that hasn't been included.

But as from what I can see, it seems to be accurate. Please keep this article! He was a very amazing man, truly. It was such a great sense of pride actually coming across this in Wikipedia, and he truly is worthy of being kept in Wikipedia!

I am new to this whole "Wikipedia editing process," but I believe that this article should remain on Wikipedia because I can verifiy the information contained in this article about Frank Steer because I am his granddaughter.

I can ask my mother for more external references on articles/publications/etc. written on his life.

Please keep this article! He was truly an amazing man! He was also the oldest living surviving graduate of West Point until his death last year.

If you have any questions, or are the editor of this article, you can contact me at Wikipedia username akb07.
