 * Delete unremarkable Air Force officer. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:07, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete: I'm on the fence a bit. He has plenty of awards, but not enough to warrant notability on thier own right. He's commanded some significant units, but it doesn't seem he has done so during any notable event or in a significant way. He is a flag officer, but unlike WP:MILPEOPLE #3, I don't think that merely having a star is enough. If somebody could expand on any of that, I would probably reconsider.  bahamut0013  words deeds 15:14, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - at AfD, generally, we keep 2- and 3-star generals, but only those 1-star flag officers with lots of medals. I'm not sure what qualifies, but he seems to have lots of shiny metal stuff, so I'm leaning to keep. Bearian (talk) 00:22, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The DFC and LoM, kinda. The rest are typical of any pilot or staff officer. None of them really strike me as notable, unless the DFC was given for valor or something (but without a citation, we can't assume so). But generally, MilHist considers only a nation's highest (and maybe second highest) award for valor as lending sufficient notability).  bahamut0013  words deeds 13:50, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete unfortunately I don't think it meets the requirements of significant coverage. If this could be established, then I would be happy to change my opinion. AustralianRupert (talk) 04:57, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
