The subject does not appear to meet the WP:GNG requirement of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject, the sources are primary records and genealogical sites. The editor who created the article has admitted that the assertion about "the only father and son to have been awarded the DCM" is unable to be reliably sourced. The editor in question has been asked if they are related to this subject and the other article's subject (ie COI) and have chosen not to respond. This looks like a classic case of WP:NOTMEMORIAL to me. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 20:47, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - in the absence of WP:SIGCOV this fails WP:GNG per the nomination. Anotherclown (talk) 21:30, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per Anotherclown, while a DCM is a considerable achievement, the article's subject does not appear to be covered in significantly in multiple third party sources. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 02:42, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Main point of interest – only father and son to win DCM –  is not cited.  Hamish59 (talk) 21:38, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
