Only non-primary sources are two books—one self-published, one ghostwritten. Remsense 诉  22:15, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, Military,  and Florida.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:03, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep John Plaster's books are not ghost-written or primary sources. Shriver is also mentioned in Stephen Moore's "Uncommon Valor' (USNI Press, 2018), Richard Shultz's "The Secret War Against Hanoi" (Harper Collins, 1999), and Robert Gillespie's "Black Ops Vietnam" (also USNI Press, 2011). And there are other sources out there as well (Shelby Stanton's "Green Berets at War" is likely, but my copy's packed away right now). Granted information on Shriver is sparse, but he occupies an important place in the history of MACVSOG. Intothatdarkness 00:12, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Shriver is definitely a notable person, there are official census and army records of him. I absolutely don't get why he would not be considered notable, the reasons provided for the deletion are very invalid. TheTankman (talk) 11:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep I added infobox sourcing, which gives a narrative for three of his medals. While I can't vouch for every single claim in this article, this man is certainly worthy of a KEEP for his article. — Maile (talk) 14:12, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:GNG with widespread coverage in reliable sources. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  00:33, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep clear pass on WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 08:07, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep since subject is trivially notable. This is a serious breach of WP:BEFORE. The omission to adequately search is denoted as serious because it piles up more queries on an already overworked WP:AFD process. Madness. -The Gnome (talk) 12:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep pr WP:SNOW. Clearly notable. There are issues, in the coding and verbiage, which can be fixed through the normal editing process. AfD is not right place. Bearian (talk) 19:11, 25 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment: Appears to be a BLP known only for one thing, so maybe a merge somewhere (not sure into what though). IgelRM (talk) 23:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
