Don't believe this person is notable. Fails WP:SOLDIER Gbawden (talk) 08:25, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I couldn't find anything useful on Google, in which all sources found make no sufficient coverage of the subject (if any), pretty much fails WP:GNG. hmssolent \You rang? ship's log 08:48, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Junior officer notable only for his death. The Most Distinguished Order of Namibia appears to be that country's fifth highest honour, so doesn't qualify him for an article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:43, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep in the interests of fighting our WP:SYSTEMICBIAS a little, citing WP:IAR. We have virtually *nothing* on NAmibian operations in the DRC, and this would fill things out a very little. Buckshot06 (talk) 23:39, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep It is not about when he became famous or the amount of references sources available(may it be known that no Namibian newspaper had a website in 1999 ) ,it is about the pivotal role he played in war - sacrificed his life to save others that earned him the award.

 * Are there printed references that one would be able to find in Namibia regarding the subject?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As did many millions of others. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:02, 3 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete, given the reasoning of Necrothesp, and being unable to find any mentions of the subject in reliable sources I have to presently support deletion, and therefore, the subject fails GNG, and cannot really be verified. This might be systematic bias in that scanning of documents from sub-Saharan Africa is not as prevalent in the Northern Hemisphere and developed nations, but if we cannot verify that the subject has received the award, or even did what he is claimed to have done from reliable sources, then we cannot not yet have an article about the subject.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per Necrothesp Finnegas (talk) 21:52, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
