Notability doubted. The main source for this article is an autobiography; three of the sources here are self publications from the unit he commanded. Love and Parting (talk) 08:12, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep while a number of the current sources do not appear to be independent, a quick Google search shows that he is at least mentioned in a number of books, indicating SIGCOV. I also have to question whether the Nom who has only been on WP since 21 July 2021 and has only made 43 edits in total is really competent to make an AFD nomination at this point.

 * Keep Given the number and range of the sources quoted, this seems like overkill on what is basically a well written article in need of a little polish and tidying up. Downsize43 (talk) 12:15, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep No real argument for NOTE, which seems self-evident, this is really just about requiring better sources and that's not deletable on its own. Don't delete what you can fix, and this seems easily fixable. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:09, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep and WP:SNOWCLOSE this AFD. There are sufficient sources to fulfill WP:GNG. Sadly WP:SOLDIER is no longer a notability guideline but he'd have met that too.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 13:18, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
