Fails WP:MILNG which says a serviceman is notable for getting either the highest possible medal for his military, or multiple recipient of the second, Mitchell is being recommended for a medal that doesn't fit either qualification.

 * Conditional speedy delete per WP:CSD (unambiguous copyright violation) Neutral The article as it stands is a word for word copy of the first and last paragraphs of this page. I will withdraw the !vote if somebody can rewrite this. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   17:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Information available at WWW.SOC.MIL is consistent with Army and DoD policies and The Principles of Information and contains information cleared for public release — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaunpaulie (talk • contribs) 17:42, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I realise that US Military articles are inherently PD, but that isn't enough - it needs to be specifically cleared for CC-BY-SA 3.0. It would be much simpler to rewrite the stub, but this isn't my area of expertise. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   17:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * comment  The putative copyvio has been removed twice. All that remains is the bare bones reporting that the subject is to receive the solder's medal. Perhaps before tagging for a CSD, it would be better to look for a prior version that is not speediable. Further, on the subject of the copyvio, it may be that the source is public domain as it is possible the source is an official US document. Not sure about that, but the content has been removed to be certain. Dloh  cierekim  17:51, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * If I could find a prior revision that wasn't a copyvio, I would have reverted to it. Unfortunately, every single diff as currently exists is a copy of the article. As I said, if somebody gets to rewrite the stub in their own words before I do, or if somebody can point me to a policy that states I can take US government documentation, modify it, and sell it to others (which is what our CC-BY-SA licence allows), I'll withdraw the speedy claim.

 * Point taken. Though I believe PD is PD. Take another look. See if I could have done it better. Dloh cierekim  18:07, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That's fine - all sorted now. Copyright is a bit of a minefield, so I apologise if I came across a bit forcefully, but we've just got to be careful with these things. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   18:09, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. No problem. Better safe. Though in all modesty, I think my version is much better anyway. Dloh  cierekim  18:13, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Errr. If something is PD, it's "cleared for CC-BY-SA 3.0". You can do any dang thing you want with PD information. If public domain wasn't compatible with Wikipeida licensing, there wouldn't be PD images on Commons. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:30, 19 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete, not notable regardless of the copyright concerns. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:51, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable per WP:SOLDIER; grade of award insufficient to meet notability per WP:SOLDIER or WP:ANYBIO.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:45, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Recommended for receipt of a single award that may or may not be third level, but is certainly no higher. Not notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:31, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
