This World War II colonel doesn't quite satisfy WP:SOLDIER. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:37, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as this is certainly interesting but there's nothing else to suggest the better notability improvements. SwisterTwister   talk  07:28, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - First, it all depends on what one considers "a substantial body of troops". If you consider a regiment as meeting that requirement, then he fits #6 of WP:SOLDIER. Add to that, his role in the Battle of Manila, and he probably meets #7 as well. Looking into him, due to the age in which he lived and died, there is not much on the internet. However, a search of Google Books shows much more coverage, which clearly meets WP:GNG. Aside from the 2 Flanagan and 2 Hagerman sources already in the article, there's a nice mention of him in Jump Commander, good coverage in Blossoming Silk Against the Rising Sun, Leyte, 1944: The Soldiers' Battle, United States Army In WWII - The Pacific - Triumph In The Philippines, and ''A Dogface's War. And that's just on the first page of the google search.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:54, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep as passing GNG and per, and also given that he was deemed notable enough to have Camp Haugen named in his honor in Japan after the war.--Arxiloxos (talk) 14:35, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep There seem to be plenty of sources out there. Andrew D. (talk) 06:45, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
