In future, the way to make an edit request is to use the {{edit semi-protected}} template, rather than simply tagging a recent editor. That said, it's a reasonable request, so let me check on it. PianoDan (talk) 01:47, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
OK, on further investigation, it looks like her English language Wikipedia page was deleted for procedural, rather than notability reasons. She has a page on the Dutch language Wikipedia, so I'm going to presume she therefore meets the notability guidelines for having an article. As such, I'm not going to remove her from the list, per WP:RED. PianoDan (talk) 01:53, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

 Not done Not notable as a military officer, not even considered notable enough for an article until after he died. While serving in 3 branches of the armed forces is unusual it is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in this list.
