I tidied this page up and then wondered why. He was a farmer. And a corporal. And... that's it. No indication of notability, not even a medal. Only source appears to be a self-published book by a descendant. Emeraude (talk) 14:46, 5 January 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete Indeed, his most notable activity was apparently being a soldier, but he does not seem to meet WP:SOLDIER or WP:ANYBIO by any means. He never did anything remotely notable by our standards. I also have my doubts whether the sole source is an RS, it seems to be some self published family history which has probably a short blurb about him. There is nothing else on him online, and I also doubt that there is anything else about him offline too. I think it is safe to say that this article can be deleted per the aforementioned guidelines and WP:GNG due a lack of notability and RS. Dead Mary (talk) 08:55, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Can't see any notability whatsoever. Just a genealogical article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:44, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't find anything at newspapers.com, either. Smmurphy(Talk) 16:11, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is indeed interesting, but the subject is not notable. The lack of integration into the rest of the encyclopedia is an issue and the lack of sourcing about the subject is a deal breaker. Alansohn (talk) 16:48, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete There is only one source: a book about which Google says "publisher not identified" which sounds like WP:SPS to me. Subject fails SOLDIER, GNG, and ANYBIO. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 01:14, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, impossible to WP:V. The only available source is an offline WP:SPS. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 05:43, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:SOLDIER. Only source looks like a WP:SPS. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:42, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
