 * As the article creator I realize that there is limited reference material available. This is, however, typical of all too much of early U.S. history. The search for additional sources continues and will be added as found. Tlc356 (talk) 15:10, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

 * The article creator wants to save and share this unique piece of history. Advice is sought as to the correct location to do that. Tlc356 (talk) 12:12, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, the subject does not appear to have received significant coverage in multiple non-primary or secondary reliable sources to indicate that the subject is notable per WP:GNG. The majority of sources appear to be records from secondary sources. Falls under WP:NOTMEMORIAL.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:31, 4 November 2014 (UTC)


 * How do I move or request that this be moved to "United States Army personnel stubs""? Tlc356 (talk) 13:39, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * A stub is an article quality rating, stub articles are still subject to meeting notability requirements in order to be retained.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 14:05, 4 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Is there no other correct place for it? Tlc356 (talk) 15:38, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Your personal website, I guess. But unless you can prove his notability, not on Wikipedia. Are there any other things that he has done in life? Being a mayor, state politician or something like that? Any books written? The Banner talk 18:00, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Tlc356 One possibility is to look at Localwiki. Localwiki is more open than Wikipedia in terms of content and seems like a good place to put local history items. I would love to see public libraries promoting local history research, and Localwiki is one possible way to do that. Let me know if I can help in any way. LaMona (talk) 02:03, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nomination the subject appears to lack "significant coverage" in reliable sources so is not notable per WP:GNG. Anotherclown (talk) 08:42, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just a junior officer. Don't see the notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:25, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
