Terry J. Charlton Jr.

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:BASIC. Another non-notable Tuskegee Airmen created by the same User. Other than the non RS Peery geneaolgy website all the other sources are passing mentions or generic Tuskegee Airmen filler. Despite comments from myself and others, the User who created this page is apparently unwilling to accepted WP:NOTINHERITED that just belonging to a notable unit/organisation does not confer notability on all its members, this is Easy Company all over again.

 * Delete Of the eleven references in the entry now, there is no significant coverage of this individual himself. Some of the references are to primary sources or genealogy resources with only passing mentions. There are a couple of newspaper or magazine articles, but they discuss Charlton's relatives, not Charlton. A couple of others are simply directories of the Tuskegee Airmen, and another is a page with a Tuskegee Airmen class photo (all passing mentions). In a search for other references, I found a couple of Google Books hits that list him in Class SE-42-J, but I don't see anything other than these passing mentions.

 * Delete clearly another fine person who served their country but cant see anything in the article that make them noteworthy enough to stand out among his peers for a mention or a stand-alone article. MilborneOne (talk) 07:19, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete simply being a member of a well known military unit does not equal notability. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:14, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:NOTMEMORIAL, WP:NOTGENEALOGY and to some extent WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Topic subject seems not to have accomplished anything further than achieving Tuskegee Airmen Pilot status. (For which I, as an American, am grateful).  Tellingly, very little of the article is about the topic proper.  I do not see sources upon which a proper encyclopedic article could be built, although that may be possible in the future as further research is conducted into the lives of these heroes.  78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 20:04, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
