Fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG. The article was also clearly created by a relative. Lettlerhello • contribs 17:40, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Clearer consensus needed, especially as one delete was weak.
 * Weak Delete This article was tagged as possibly not notable back in 2008. While Reagan's use of the prayer attributed to him might be considered notable (in terms of the prayer, not Wolverton himself), I don't see much else that is. Most of the sources aren't really what I'd call RS when it comes to Wolverton himself. Intothatdarkness 17:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:SOLDIER is an essay and so has no official standing. The story of the prayer appears in numerous books including Words of a Century – The Top 100 American Speeches and so passes WP:GNG. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:56, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG as he lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS. Mztourist (talk) 03:59, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. His relatives have been busy, e.g. "Lee Wolverton: Spirit of D-Day warriors needed now", but Wikipedia is WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:32, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Cited by the President Reagan at a D-Day celebration, and he now has his own monument there. Durindaljb (talk) 08:33, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Sources are of the self-published memorial variety or lack independence of the subject due to involvement of family members. Fails WP:GNG. We don't need an article on everyone's somewhat interesting grandfather. -Indy beetle (talk) 06:46, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Also note that the article seems to have been created in direct violation of COI guidelines by members of his family. -Indy beetle (talk) 06:55, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
