 * Delete Article is completely unsourced and I can't find any references to show he meets WP:GNG or WP:SOLDIER. Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:04, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

This is ridiculous. All you have to do is type his name into Google and you can see what comes up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JayDarlington (talk • contribs) 14:14, 13 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fighting in the Second World War and being awarded some medals (VC yes, MC no) are not enough, nor is showing up in Google, otherwise we'd be inundated. His obituary in the Southport Visitor shows that his military career, commendable as it may be, doesn't satisfy SOLDIER. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:12, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - A brave officer with a fine service record to be sure; however, the subject seems to lack "significant coverage" in WP:RS so fails notability under WP:GNG. Anotherclown (talk) 21:29, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG, concerned over possible conflict of interest with main editor. --Molestash (talk) 15:24, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: unfortunately I don't think there is significant coverage to meet notability guidelines. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 19:36, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
