James Ewell Brown Stuart IV

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NSOLDIER as was only a colonel. Comes closer to WP:GNG and WP:NPERSON, but still doesn't quite seem to hit the mark. Coverage consists of obituary that was likely submitted by somebody connected to the man, an image, a post from the American Battlefield Trust, which he was affiliated with, a local newspaper article about somewhere he was speaking, and some rather small newspaper articles, mostly drawing a connection to his ancestry. An article like this from the Miami Herald is good coverage, but it isn't specifically of JEB Stuart IV, but of a group and their efforts to ensure memorialization of JEB Stuart. Other coverage is passing mentions or quotations from him in his capacity as president of the Museum of the Confederacy, not about him. Eddie891 Talk Work 01:32, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Mztourist (talk) 05:57, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - Close to GNG, but not quite enough. The obituary is decent coverage, but most of the rest of it is either very passing mentions, such as announcement he will speak at an event, quotations of his about Jeb Stuart, and coverage about him from organizations he was affiliated with, such as the American Battlefield Trust (not independent). Just not enough here. Hog Farm (talk) 15:56, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:SOLDIER. Colonels can be notable, but they have to have done something special. This one did not do anything that every other colonel in the US Army at the time did. Had a famous great grandfather but notability is not inherited.   Hawkeye7   (discuss)  21:02, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
