George Luz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

George Luz was an NCO with E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) during World War II. Neither his rank (Technician Fourth Grade) nor his highest award (Bronze Star) make him notable under WP:SOLDIER. After the war, Luz led a quiet, non-notable life. Post-war writings about him are largely anecdotal. Georgia Army Vet Contribs  Talk  18:59, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete does not meet the notability guidelines for soldiers. Being portrayed in film or television is not on its own a sign of notability. For example, we do not have articles on most of the people portrayed in Hacksaw Ridge.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:50, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) as per Hawkeye7. Mr. Luz has a fair number of mentions in press articles (for instance http://www.eadt.co.uk/what-s-on/unmissable-why-i-m-always-pleased-to-reunite-with-my-band-of-brothers-1-4225055) but nothing I found was more than a passing mention. They don't reach, separately or in sum, what's expected by way of WP:SECONDARY sources. Fiachra10003 (talk) 02:14, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- does not meet WP:SOLDIER & significant RS coverage not found. Notability is not inherited from the notable unit or the miniseries. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:32, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
