Bill Queen

This individual, though heroic and interesting, is not even close to being notable. He just seems to be a friend of the editor, and there's no justification for this article. Orange Marlin Talk• Contributions 02:17, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom - there's no evidence that there are sufficient sources to establish that Mr Queen meets WP:BIO. WP:NOT appears relevant. Nick-D (talk) 07:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - it is a shame that so many soldiers die in so many wars, but Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize them. Notability is not established by documenting the soldier's death on the web. Frank  |  talk  16:55, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - The battle in which this individual fought, and was wounded, has been studied for the last four decades at the U.S. military academies, the U.S. Army War College, and Special Forces of most major nations. The USMC helecopter flight schools have played the audio taped radio transmissions during the battle to pilot trainees for over tirty years.  This individual is historically significant and noteworthy in this regard.  Also, at least one video game has been made, based upon this battle.  Thanks for your interest and objective consideration of inhancing and improving this article. Dr. B. R. Lang (talk) 01:36, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment That's an argument for keeping an article on the battle, and not this particular person who participated in it. As per WP:BIO, individuals need substantial coverage in reliable sources to have an article on them. Nick-D (talk) 06:35, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: even if the battle is notable, individual soldiers generally aren't -- notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. No indication that he meets WP:BIO. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 02:43, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
