Fails WP:SOLDIER. Having a school named after him is not enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:22, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Clearly not notable. Athel cb (talk) 08:16, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment The fact that the sources aren't online doesn't mean that there are no sources. He was way before online and there are probably some type of news about him such as the coverage in The Crimson I found. Noah  💬 12:59, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The Crimson is hardly a neutral source, seeing as he was a Harvard alumnus. Being one of the many casualties of World War I doesn't amount to notability, unless he accomplished something that is not indicated in his article. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:12, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Theoretically that argument could be made about thousands of absolutely non-notable people. We are not obligated to scour every library in the United States for every print copy of newspapers to have sufficient cause to believe a subject isn't notable. -Indy beetle (talk) 04:47, 1 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - I'm seeing a GNG fail problem. Everything about him source wise is either tied to his name being on a school or his alma mater such as The Crimson, Harvard alumni publications, a book by Harvard about its alumni who fought in WWI...which simply aren't independent. Please note that SOLDIER has hardly any standing anymore and try to avoid using it in deletion discussions. -Indy beetle (talk) 04:47, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete SOLDIER has no standing anymore, but this fails GNG, the significant coverage in multiple reliable sources requirement of GNG just isn't met. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:22, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as per comments above. Zawed (talk) 08:51, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete getting the distinguished service cross is not a sign of notability. Nor is having an elementary school named after you.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:29, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
