Unfortunately, this Vietnam War POW doesn't satisfy WP:SOLDIER. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:14, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete no doubt a brave man, but doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG, and as a colonel without a fighting command with his awards, doesn't get close to WP:SOLDIER. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 00:59, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. I think his decorations taken together are enough to scrape him by the notability threshold. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:16, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. You're being a bit inconsistent, aren't you? You lvoted delete for Jordan Haerter for a second-level award, but keep for a third-level one and a couple that are below that. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:49, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Not in the slightest. Two third-level awards plus five other honours. That's enough for notability in my opinion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:32, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Even if third tier and lower decorations were considered for notability (which isn't the case in my experience), two third-level ones would at best equate to one second-level one. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:53, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's productive to compare decorations and say two of one are worth one of another or whatever. I think we have to judge highly-decorated individuals who have received multiple decorations at various levels on a case-by-case basis. And my own feeling is that Stutz's decorations taken together do make him notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:08, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in reliable sources. </li> <li></li> <li> </li> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Leroy W. Stutz to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Cunard (talk) 05:45, 1 November 2015 (UTC)</li></ul>
 * There is significant coverage about the subject in the 1970s when he was a prisoner of war and after he was released. There are articles about him in 2000 the The Oklahoman, in 2010 from The Journal Record, and in 2012 from Tinker Air Force Base. Although he doesn't pass the essay criteria at WP:SOLDIER, he passes the guideline criteria at Notability. Cunard (talk) 05:45, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
