 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Thomas Meehan, although commander of E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States), does not meet either WP:GNG or WP:SOLDIER. Meehan died when the aircraft transporting him was hit by enemy fire. Wikipedia is not a memorial. Jim in Georgia Contribs  Talk  17:51, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - sadly, many soldiers and sailors died on D-Day to save democracy. He wasn't a general nor a major medal recipient. Bearian (talk) 04:51, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - sad but not uncommon; not notable for stand alone article and believe WP:Memorial applies. Kierzek (talk) 19:42, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
