This article reads like a case of WP:NOTMEMORIAL and fails WP:NOLYMPICS as he didn't win a paralympic medal. Gbawden (talk) 12:17, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep -- I think this passes GNG / significance on the balance of things, with this WaPo story: link, burial at the Arlington Cemetery, being a Paralympic athlete, etc. If this article were to be kept, I'd volunteer to clean it up. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:02, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I think there is enough to pass WP:GNG.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:23, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
