Joe D. Dowdy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability concerns with this article. The only notable or newsworthy rationale I could find for keeping it is because of Dowdy’s abrupt replacement by Chaos Mattis in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and that’s already mentioned in the main article for the regiment.

 * Delete. Doesn't pass on SOLDIER (though close). Most of the coverage, which is LASTING (particularly with Mattis's subsequent appointment) is of a WP:BLP1E/WP:BIO1E nature - being relieved of command by Mattis during battle. Coverage of this is mainly focused on Mattis's decision (as an example of his willingness to take steps others currently don't and his decisiveness) and not on Dowdy. This coverage is already present in Jim Mattis, and there is little need to duplicate it here.Icewhiz (talk) 18:03, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable for stand alone article; trivial and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Kierzek (talk) 16:37, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as not notable under WP:GNG or WP:SOLDIER. If he had accomplished something notable with NASA, I'm sure that agency would have included it in his bio. Note: Renaming Mattis to "Chaos" without context doesn't help.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 20:47, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
