 * Delete. Jack F. Campbell is so non-notable that the article has to use deceptive referencing to puff up the subject:


 * reference 1 - Politico - cited to support Campbell's claim that "He is a policy influencer".
 * Politico's article quotes a totally different Jack Campbell, in this case a state attorney


 * reference 2 - cited to support Campbell's claim to be a "published commentator on the American Aerospace Defense industry".
 * This is just Campbell's self-published assessment of Lockheed Martin's stock on the crowd-sourced Seeking Alpha stock-picking website.


 * reference 3 - Tallahassee Democrat newspaper article includes the name "Jack Campbell" on a list of 500+ signed up to attend a Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce meeting.
 * Except it's that other Jack Campbell, the state attorney.


 * reference 4 - another self-published Seeking Alpha piece about a defense contractor.


 * reference 5 is the basis for Campbell's claim to be a military officer - his promotion to First Lieutenant in 2021. That's an officer rank typically attained by someone two years after leaving officer training. It's certainly an honorable job but it's such a low, low rank that it's painful to see someone using it to support their Wikipedia article.


 * reference 6 cites the U.S. Embassy to the Philippines, Joint Military Assistance Group's webpage.
 * Campbell's name is not on this page.


 * reference 7 cites a long Wall Street Journal article about a US Marine unit's preparations near Taiwan.
 * Campbell's name is not in this article.


 * In several hundred AfDs, I haven't seen such egregiously deceptive sourcing. If I were Mr. Campbell, I would be so embarrassed to get caught out like this. I'd hope Google won't index this AfD page for the general public to find. I'd worry about the state attorney's reaction if he (the other Jack Campbell) learned about this article. But that's just me; I don't think these are likely concerns for Jack F. Campbell.
