Bob Warnock

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable soldier. He is not even known for "firing the first shots of WWII", as the article says it was once thought that these were the first shots fired by an American in World War II, though these were in fact fired by the crew of USS Ward. Additionally, none of the statements in the stub-like article are even sourced (besides him being a sailor on the submarine). Natg 19 (talk) 01:30, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete So he fired anything from what could be the second shot going forwards in WW2. Not in the least notable. The article has one source. Oaktree b (talk) 03:51, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly not "the first shots of WW 2" by any margin. Intothatdarkness 14:23, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete That's gonna be a delete from me, no notability and hardly any citations Zippybonzo (talk) 14:38, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Just a sailor who happened to be involved in defending against the attack on Pearl Harbor. Neither his actions nor the sourcing is enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:02, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find any credible claim (outside of Warnock saying he had) that he was even the first person to fire a shot in defense of the attack at Pearl Harbor, and when you match it up his story against the timeline of the attack it's highly unlikely he did.
