Talk:James Symonds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Speedy deletion qualification disputed

Hi all, I have just created this article, it being my twenty-second. This should not be deleted because Mr. Symonds clearly passes WP:N and WP:BIO. He has recevied news coverage from reliable, independent sources including from MSNBC, CBS, The San Diego Union Tribune, CNN, and multiple articles within the United States Navy (plus this). So he clearly passes WP:N. Most of this was because of his prominent role in the funeral of Ronald Reagan. I was about to add an infobox to the article and a photo of Symonds presenting the flag to Mrs. Nancy Reagan as well. The article clearly passes all of the general criteria and article criteria at WP:CSD. Perhaps I should highlight his significant role in the Reagan funeral in the lead.

Yeah, I think that would help. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 03:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I've added an infobox with a public domain photo of Mr. Symonds, I've added a photo of Mr. Symonds presenting the American flag to Nancy Reagan, and I've added his role in the Reagan funeral in the lead. Happyme22 (talk) 04:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
