Benjamin Gulko

 * Tagged {prod} and contested, so bringing here. Subjectt received the Bronze Star.  This article does not tell us why.  Or where.  Or whether he survived the war.  Or indeed pretty much anythign beyond "name rank and number"  Oh, wait - no rank. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 22:07, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * If improved with info keep, otherwise delete Tawker 22:08, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - absolutely unnoteworthy. The bronze star is the lowest valor award (aside from an ARCOM with V device), and participating in a battle in and of itself doesnt make you noteworthy. The only references to the famous war-hero Benjamin Gulko are on Wikipedia. Monicasdude objects saying its not enough to delete because there is only one page linking to this entry, and then says even though a google hit only returns 66 entries, most for a chess player, that google isnt a detailed source of info on veterans. My name gives 126 hits on google, and I have a bronze star - maybe I should have an entry in wikipedia....Nobunaga24 02:06, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - don't see how this can be expanded. Renata 02:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, bronze star is an assertion of notability so it's not a speedy, but certainly not a keep. Stifle 23:44, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
