Proposed deletion of Donald Duncan (war protester)

The article Donald Duncan (war protester) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Bihco (talk) 05:45, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Mike

I've started working a bit on the Donald Duncan piece. Feel free to help in if you'd like.

I'll also point out that you have the right to voice your opinion on whether the piece should be kept or deleted at the deletion debate at AfD, a link to which appears above. I'd encourage you to do that, one way or the other.

If you need any help with the Wikipedia software or have any questions, feel free to either leave a message on my talk page (the link follows my name below) or you may contact me directly by email: MutantPop@aol.com
