Jean Ballestra

Your new article on Jean Ballestra does not indicate how he is notable. Although his actions as a French resistance fighter might be admirable, they do not seem any different than thousands of other resistance fighters, and do not rise to the level of notability. The fact that he has an article on the French Wikipedia is not sufficient show of notability, as the two projects have separate criteria. (To be fair, the article on the French Wikipedia is completely unreferenced, and probably does not meet their criteria either.) If you can improve the article to show notability, great. If not, the article will probably be deleted. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:26, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
