I see that you added the name of Mr. Kushner to the list of notable persons on the Bataan Death March. I would thank him for his service and honor his sacrifice, but the list is intended to include only those who have their own Wikipedia articles, or who have documented notability by Wikipedia standards, and not to serve as a memorial including the names of every participant. His obituary at http://www.bachmankulikreinsmith.com/memsol.cgi?user_id=1430616 does not look like he satisfies WP:BIO, the guideline for what things constitute "notability" on Wikipedia. I just wanted to contact you directly before his name got removed in the event that happens. You are welcome to take a look at the other bios listed at the Bataan page and see if you can come up with similar references to allow creating a biography article for him.

I reverted the addition as well. Thousands were on the Death March. It is impossible for us to maintain a useful encyclopedia if non-notable names are added. I say this as a retired veteran who had family members who served and died during WWII. – S. Rich (talk) 02:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
