Thomas Peacock (United States Army officer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Peacock was an officer in the 101st Airborne Division. He jumped into Normandy on D-Day but joined E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) after the fighting in Normandy. There is no record of him being awarded any medals. He was not generally well regarded. He served until the end of WW II. He was killed in an automobile accident in 1948. He does not meet either WP:GNG or WP:SOLDIER Jim in Georgia  Contribs  Talk  00:30, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- there are some mentions of the subject in Band of brothers, but this looks like a journalistic account, with plenty of dialog. Insufficient to build an NPOV bio article. Does not meet WP:SOLDIER either. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:39, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete cant see anything that makes him noteworthy for a stand-alone article, like thousands of other soldiers he did his bit but nothing outstanding. MilborneOne (talk) 11:32, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet WP:SOLDIER or WP:GNG. Being a member of a notable military unit is not enough. Exemplo347 (talk) 16:07, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - If the article is kept (not likely), newspapers.com has an account of his death, which could be an improvement of the find-a-grave source. This account is routine, and doesn't add to the case for the article's inclusion here, I think. Smmurphy(Talk) 19:09, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
