Konstantine Konopisos

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Meets the letter of NSOLDIER as a rear admiral (though I couldn't verify that), but badly, badly, fails GNG -- to the point that I could barely verify he existed. He seems to have completely avoided getting significant coverage, and the fact that he may have been a rear admiral doesn't change that. Eddie891 Talk Work 21:34, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete while his rank arguable satisfies #2 of WP:SOLDIER that is just an essay and he lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS to satisfy WP:GNG, totally non-notable life. Mztourist (talk) 09:34, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - regardless of WP:ONLYESSAY it is consensus that flag rank officers are notable for being flag rank officers. That said, the Register of Retired Commissioned and Warrant Officers from 1978 lists Konopisos as having retired as a Captain in April 1975, and the 1984 edition has the same information. Why his tombstone (pictured on the findagrave 'reference') states RADM is confusing (perhaps it was one of those "advance one grade on death" deals?) but he can only be verified as having been a captain and, thus, defaults to GNG; a GBooks search turns up a number of WP:FRINGEy UFO titles but the ones that are searchable don't even mention him, and the only Google hits are mirrors of either Wikipedia or Findagrave, thus comprehensively failing it. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:53, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * There is no such consensus, just being a flag officer does not establish notability. WP:SOLDIER is an Essay that lists categories presumed to have SIGCOV in multiple RS, but SIGCOV in multiple RS does not exist here. Mztourist (talk) 10:50, 5 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete was not of flag officer rank. There is a general consensus suggesting that those who hold that rank are notable, but some cases probably would not pass stringent GNG analysis. Also some countries have very high number of flag officers per military size, so it does not seem to mean the same thing in all countries.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:16, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Without a source to show he was actually a Rear Admiral, its as good as nothing, anyone can claim to be anything. Fails WP:GNG. Lord Grandwell (talk) 08:15, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:V. We can verify he was a rear admiral when he died, but not when he was in active duty service. Bearian (talk) 16:14, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
