Frederick Heyliger

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Frederick Heyliger was a company grade officer assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. Heyliger parachuted into Normandy as part of Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion. He was transferred to and assumed command of E Company when Captain Richard Winters was assigned to the battalion headquarters. Heyliger led his company in an operation to rescue stranded British paratroopers; his performance earned him the British Military Cross. He was wounded by friendly fire shortly afterward and was evacuated. Neither his rank (eventually captain) nor his awards (including the Military Cross) qualify him for coverage under WP:SOLDIER. After the war he was graduated with a degree in ornamental horticulture. His civilian career earned him no significant coverage. Georgia Army Vet Contribs  Talk  00:54, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article is well sourced to meet WP:GNG. By WP:SOLDIER’s own standards Heyliger meets a few of the requirements. I’m noticed this is similar to the redirect discussion for Eugene Roe, which I believe should not have been done. Rusted AutoParts 06:47, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:GNG is easily met by the extensive, varied, and long-lasting sourcing. Notability is unquestionable. Rockypedia (talk) 00:01, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
