AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Individual does not appear notable outside of the Tillman article WP:BIO1E. Only 3 cited sources, and only 1 actually mentions this individual (and that article is about Tillman, not Kauzlarich). Andrew c [talk] 02:09, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

 * As the author of the original stub, it would have been nice if someone had bothered to mention the original AfD to me at the time. -- Kendrick7talk 21:33, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: not notable per WP:MILPEOPLE in my opinion. — AustralianRupert (talk) 12:00, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The new sources reflect his nobility under "#6 Commanded a substantial body of troops in combat" -- Kendrick7talk 22:01, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I haven't decided on a position yet, but I'll note that MILPEOPLE refers to "a division or larger formation" whereas Kauzlarich led only a battalion. -- Randy2063 (talk) 22:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected. He is not automatically notable on those grounds. Although by virtue of Finkel's book I would think the unit he commanded is somewhat notable, and therefore he would be notable. -- Kendrick7talk 03:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep His command in Iraq during the Iraq Surge was chronicled in one of the best selling books on the Iraq War. He is also notable as an early investigator into the death of Pat Tillman. I've gone back and added additional sources to the article. -- Kendrick7talk 21:21, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
