Commendable, but not enough for a standalone article. The Empire Gallantry Medal (or rather its replacement, the George Medal George Cross) is second-level. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:56, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep the EGM was replaced by the George Cross not the George Medal and is a first-level decoration (see the Order of Wear) and the subject has been covered in multiple secondary sources. Nthep (talk) 20:26, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. The George Cross is second-level, below the Victoria Cross, and the media coverage is not substantial. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:34, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
 * the GC is the highest decoration available to non-military persons and is a first level award. Chapters in two separate books meets the criteria in WP:GNG in terms of significant, independent coverage. Nthep (talk) 19:51, 9 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep - Being awarded the Empire Gallantry Medal / George Cross is sufficient to establish notability. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:52, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep notability met, the award is significant, and media coverage for the time period in question is adequate
 * Keep. The EGM was first-level, as is the George Cross, its replacement. Although it is second in wear to the VC (if both were won, which has never happened), it is an equivalent award. Claiming it's not is like saying the Military Cross is a sixth-level award (instead of a third-level award) because it's worn after the VC, GC, DSO, CGC and DSC. This isn't how it works. Clearly meets notability criteria. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:13, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep As others have (more or less) said, the Empire Gallantry Medal and its replacement, the George Cross is the highest award for gallantry not in the face of the enemy and is a hugely significant award. Only 130 EGMs were awarded, and only 408 GCs have been awarded. Frankly, it should give inherent notability. Hugsyrup (talk) 09:07, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
