The refs in the article are all either unreliable, not about this figure, or both. Captain does not meet WP:NSOLDIER. He has some notable relatives, including a modern filmmaker and a 19th-century congressman, but he can't inherit notability from them. Google search and Google Scholar bring up nothing in reliable sources about him. A Google Books search brings up nothing that I am confident is actually about this figure, he has a common name. NSOLDIER and GNG failure. Hog Farm (talk) 01:50, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment - Looking through the linked articles of his relatives gives me the impression an editor may have mass created short articles about his/her ancestors. Hog Farm (talk) 01:52, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - No demonstrated notability as per WP:NSOLDIER. References are also poor and don't come from independent sources. Runforlimit505 (talk) 05:21, 13 June 2020 (UTC) Blocked sock. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 11:37, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete more about his relatives than about him, fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 07:12, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams, a film about his love story. Fails GNG and the soldier notability guideline. Notability is not inherited, and just because he has famous relatives doesn't make him notable. The film doesn't seem to have led to any coverage about him, so it's reasonable to cut this article and point it there. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:07, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
