Victor R. Lu
It is sad that he died but is he notable to have a biography entry? All I got from the article is a soldier that died in combat. Reason for my nomination: Wikipedia is not a memorial. J. Nguyen 03:04, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Very sad indeed, but delete per nominator, unless someone can show that some of the awards he received are particularly noteworthy—they sound like mostly just bulk, campaign-type medals. &mdash; HorsePunchKid &rarr; &#x9F9C; 04:19, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete although I hope this deletion gets handled with special consideration. I looked for something exceptional that could justify keeping the entry.  Unfortunately, as a war veteran, I have to affirm that his awards are routine.  My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Durova 04:53, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Sad Delete. Much better written memorial page than the recently deleted Earl Logeais, but similarly not notable enough.  Looked from external links that there are several related memorial pages, so not like deleting this article removes the only info on this soldier. --Syrthiss 13:13, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: I wish this were unique; however, WP is not a memorial site. Geogre 13:37, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete with all what has been written above. Wikipedia is not a memorial. --Edcolins 21:04, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with above sentiments. This is an important (and sad) article that belongs somewhere, but not at Wikipedia. Jasmol 02:34, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as newly edited, this bio is NPOV and notable enough for me FRS 22:50, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per the foregoing. → Ξxtreme Unction  {yak ł blah } 14:50, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
