Before bringing this article to AfD, I attempted to propose that the article be turned into a redirect due to the one event that the subject received significant coverage for, the aerial victory over a Messerschmitt Me 262, however that proposal had a consensus of oppose. Subject of article does not appear to be notable according to WP:BIO, and more specifically WP:SOLDIER. Most of what has been written by the subject has been done by the subject themselves before they died in 2017. While the subject of the articles service should be preserved, it should not be done so here on Wikipedia per WP:NOTMEMORIAL. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 08:59, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect name to 137th Airlift Squadron f/k/a 504th Fighter Squadron and briefly mention him there. Otherwise, not notable for stand alone article and WP:Memorial, applies. Kierzek (talk) 13:40, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redirect possible if the me-262 claim is cleaned up and reffed in 504th (currently it is to his autobio, this repeats it - not sure of RSness). BEFORE shows some additional sources, e.g.   - but not nearly enough to reach SIGCOV.Icewhiz (talk) 23:14, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
