Non-notable. Pretty much died in World War II defusing a bomb and got a school back home named after him because he was the first soldier from a small town to die in that war. Not much else in the article Nobunaga24 (talk) 10:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A civic building was named after him, so somebody will be curious to look up who the man was. Notable enough to provide an answer of some kind, even if he may not have a research paper written about him. -- Auto (talk / contribs) 10:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Is there an article about the building? If so, I think it would be better to cover this there. --DanielRigal (talk) 11:24, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think the building itself actually has significant notoriety. -- Auto (talk / contribs) 13:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There is an article about the school, this could be a subsection of that. I really find it hard to accept that having a building named after you in a town of 2,000 people is sufficient to incur enough notability to be in wikipedia though. There are literally millions of buildings throughout the world named after people, and as selfless as his actions might have been, I don't think it warrants an article.--Nobunaga24 (talk) 14:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. Lets delete this and redirect. There is already a short mention of him in the article about the school. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
