 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Junior officer who received a single Distinguished Service Cross, a second-level award. No other claim to fame. Completely fails WP:SOLDIER and every other standard. Deprodded with the comment "incorrect reasoning for deletion, he received multiple awards". The other awards were the Purple Heart, awarded simply because he was killed in combat, and two service medals. Being killed is not a claim to notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:11, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - single receipt of second highest award, reasonable presumption not likely to meet GNG. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:24, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
