Does not meet WP:BIO standards for notability. There are 0 Ghits other than the wikipedia page, no sources to verify notability, and the "Notable award or Honor" section of WP:ANYBIO is not applicable as the awards this person has received are awarded to nearly all people in the military.

 * Delete: I found zero sources. Joe Chill (talk) 00:38, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per A7. The awards claimed are awarded merely for having served at all. There is no other assertion of notability. I reinstated the CSD request with a note explaining this to the reviewing admin. DarkAudit (talk) 02:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I removed speedy because notability is asserted by "recipient of the National Defense Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon". Although the awards may not be notable, this credible assertion of notability is enough to avoid WP:CSD. Having reviewed the lack of sources about this individual, delete.

 * Per my message on your talk page, these are awarded to all service members, regardless of service. Essentially, they are awarded merely for showing up. If showing up is now considered an assertion of notability, then all service members are now automatically worthy of a wikipedia page that cannot be speedily deleted.

 * Replied here. I have asked, who declined the first speedy tag, to review the article. Cunard (talk) 03:43, 27 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - no notability, whatsoever. Shouldn't have had the A7 declined. --Izno (talk) 03:37, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed that speedy was appropriate. Service medals do not assert notability. --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 03:54, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment since the concept of "notability" is being rejected in this case, I must also point out that he is of no more importance than any other service member of similar rank and training. He has not demonstrated that he has set himself above or beyond his peers. DarkAudit (talk) 04:48, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Zero sources, possible WP:PROMOTION, not particularly well written. "Currently holds the rank of Private First Class" which is slightly above holding the rank of "alive", Zero attempts to address notability Sanguis Sanies (talk) 07:09, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
