 * Keep. I dispute that this meets the criteria for speedy deletion "does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject." The question of what part of the US government or military will have primary responsibility for cyber defense and attack is a controversial one.  Some have accused the AF of a cyber mission "land grab" when they planned to stand up a Cyber Command.  Google News search: cyber command. It was downsized to the level below the proposed Major Command level to a Numbered Air Force: the 24th Air Force.  This article is on the just announced commander for when the 24th Air Force stands up very shortly.  As future commander of 24 AF, he is notable for the same reasons as Major General William T. Lord  the provisional commander of Air Force Cyber Command (Provisional) who it has just been announced will be promoted and be appointed AF CIO. --Pmsyyz (talk) 04:03, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, a bad A7 nomination, given his rank, occupation, and the media coverage of his promotion. Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:39, 6 June 2009 (UTC).
 * Question What's the reason for nomination? -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 06:55, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The admin E Wing originally nominated it for speedy deletion and I disputed. --Pmsyyz (talk) 07:25, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Therefore I transferred it from speedy-delete-request to AfD as a "queried speedy delete". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:29, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Should have just declined the speedy rather than drag it through process. Speedy Keep plz riffic (talk) 10:35, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep: subject is a major general in the US Air Force, which would seem to be notable to me. The photo indicates that he has six full rows of medal ribbons, including a Defense Superior Service Medal and a Legion of Merit, which seems to me to fulfill the consistenty receives awards criteria too. Also there are a number of sources listed in the article, indicating notability to me. Article needs a lot of work, though, but I don't feel that it should be deleted because of that. — AustralianRupert (talk) 16:12, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
