Had been de-proded by creator w/o reason given. A war veteran, fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG, looked more to me like some kind of WP:ARTSPAM for his book. WP:BEFORE gave me nothing of independent sigcov. CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:01, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

I have added references to support the page as it is of significance and should be kept.

 * Comment: A few copyvios in there as well... — Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 16:47, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * @Berrely Earwigs Copyvio Tool gave me 0%, where do you see copyvios? CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:29, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I mean images. All of them are own work (which is unlikely, then again this might be just a very dedicated UPE) but things like File:Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur letter from French embassy.jpg contain a full letter which is clearly a copyright violation. — Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 17:47, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, the article creator declared this to be their own work so I assumed a clear conflict of interest. CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:52, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS to meet WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 09:28, 18 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I have corrected the metadata on the images for them to fit with the copyright guidelines — Yesitsme.wink. 15:39, 18 May 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yesitisme.wink. (talk • contribs)
 * Is there anything else I can do to stop this from being deleted? Yesitisme.wink. (talk) 15:44, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * comment: you can still post a link to the webpage hosting the image (both here and in the article), it's better than nuthin' - wolf  05:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment (question actually) aren't bios about people who have been awarded the highest military award for their country (in this case, the Legion of Honour), as reason to keep? - wolf  03:54, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * As you know, not since WP:SOLDIER was deprecated. In any event the Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur is the lowest rank and is now available to "American and British veterans who served in either World War on French soil, or during the 1944 campaigns to liberate France" and so is not a basis for notability. Mztourist (talk) 05:17, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur is the highest French order of merit, both military and civil. You can see this on the Légion d'honneur's website (https://www.legiondhonneur.fr/en/page/legion-honor-10-questions/406) Yesitisme.wink. (talk) 15:44, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The plot thickens... - wolf 02:26, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * User:Yesitisme.wink. read Legion of Honour Chevalier is the lowest of the 5 classes of Legion of Honour and over 74,000 have been awarded. Mztourist (talk) 03:26, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link, Mzt! It does indeed confirm that the "" And, it was established by Napoleon! Very exciting! - wolf 17:08, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Although this is the lowest rank of the five classes, surely this should be a page on Wikipedia as he has been through quite a lot in his life and this could be shown and represented through a page. His page shows his time in the Referees Association, Shenley Parish Council and now he has just been awarded the Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur. Surely he should be deserving of a page.

 * No, not without SIGCOV in multiple RS he shouldn't. I note that the entire Second World War section is completely unreferenced.Mztourist (talk) 10:16, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have updated the Second World War section as it had no references. I provided an extract of the Borehamwood Times article about him. I hope this helped. Yesitisme.wink. (talk) 17:59, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Still not enough references for what is written there and he still doesn't have SIGCOV, so my Delete stands. Mztourist (talk) 03:20, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
