CSD declined due to "credible claim of significance". Absolutely no indication of notability Gbawden (talk) 08:04, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - I agree that there is no claim of significance asserted in the article (I also tagged it for speedy). However, there are sources out there writing about the "Bedford Boys", of which Hoback was part.  I think the best solution would be to add a section about the Bedford Boys to the National D-Day Memorial article, then redirect this there.-- Mojo Hand (talk) 14:29, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - 160,000 troops landed on D-Day. Operation Overlord only mentions 2 below general officer rank, and no enlisted men. Category:Operation Overlord lists 3 biographies, only one of an enlisted man (himself of dubious notability). No notability beyond his death on D-Day. With regret, delete.

 * Redirect in light of Mojo's work on National D-Day Memorial. Bazj (talk) 14:47, 23 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. This article is new and a stub. I would like to see if this article can be improved with attention from someone who is an expert. Then the issue can be revisited. Postcard Cathy (talk) 03:28, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to National D-Day Memorial. I added a section about the "Bedford Boys" to that article.  Raymond Hoback is mentioned as one of two brothers from Bedford who landed at Normandy - both Hoback brother were killed.-- Mojo Hand (talk) 21:32, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Soldier killed in action just like millions of others. Utterly NN. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:16, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect as this is still questionable for a solid separate article. SwisterTwister   talk  22:50, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
