Oscar Gugen was born as Oskar Norbert Gugenbichler 20 January 1910 in Paris. I know this because he is a relative of mine. The only source I have are old family papers we have. Is it possible to include this information in the article anyway? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.217.143.169 (talk) 18:41, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's a tough one, because we generally require all information to have a source that has been published by someone independent of the topic. One possibility might be if you were willing to donate digital photographs of your old family papers to Wikipedia under a free licence. You could take photographs and use the link in the box on the left of each page that says 'Upload file'; following the instructions would make your photos available to add to this article. As the article has no images at present, they would certainly be a welcome addition. Please feel free to notify me here or on my talk page if you run into any problems. --RexxS (talk) 22:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the results of some research into Oscar Gugen, his company E. T. Skinner & Co. Ltd. (now Typhoon) and his contribution to the British Sub-Aqua Club. The London Gazette confirms the subject's original surname of Gugenbichler while preserving the forename "Oscar" rather than the more Germanic and perhaps likelier "Oskar". The same source provides a date of death, but unfortunately I have been unable to locate more precise information about Gugen's date and place of birth I hope the supplementary information, the division of the article into sections and the addition of imagery illustrating Typhoon brand equipment support my removal of this article's "stub" status.
