Delete: low ranking officer, and whilst he received a medal and sat on an escape committee in Colditz, those are not sufficient for notability. Delete. Bristolbottom (talk) 18:13, 21 September 2014 (UTC)


 * keep No policy-based reason for deletion. The nominator seems to have a WP:COI with User:MJT21.--114.81.255.37 (talk) 11:59, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not seeing any real notability here. A junior officer with a third-level decoration. Being at Colditz is not sufficient for notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:46, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete not notable. There seems to be a number of these Bedford Modern School alumni, so far only one of the current nominations has been notable. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 02:22, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually almost all of the Bedford Modern School alumni articles have been found to have notable subjects, with only two or three exceptions, like this one. --Bejnar (talk) 20:38, 29 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Howe was a member of the Laufen Six at Colditz; their story is remarkable and notable MJT21 (talk) 09:41, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Oflag IV-C until such time as the Laufen Six article is written. Not notable enough for a standalone article, per above. --Bejnar (talk) 20:35, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
