Sergeant Eric L. Coggins Award

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article does not assert award's significance. Written in a way that seems to glorify Coggins. Possible COI with the writer. Rabbitfang 07:12, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep While the article as it stands reads more as a bio of Sgt Coggins, sources like this and this show to me that the award is notable within the army itself as they report on winners of the award and consider ( in some circles) that even being nominated is an honor. In my opinion this meets our standards.  As I said the article as it stands now reads more of a bio for Sgt Coggins and definitely needs cleanup like a more in depth history etc etc.  An "origin" of the award can be given to Sgt Coggins and such.  tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 08:38, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep  I agree altogether with Pudge MclameO. So I did the rewriting & added his references, which need to be filled out more completely.  The material was apparently copied from as US=PD source, but it should be given exactly  DGG ( talk ) 13:05, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - This article fits correctly in the category on US military awards. It is the sort of information that makes Wikipedia a useful reference. Bella the Ball (talk) 22:19, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
