 * Keep Northern Echo refs suffice GNG. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 19:42, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Articles in the local newspaper (albeit a prominent one) are not enough. Wikipedia is WP:NOTMEMORIAL. It's odd that he apparently wasn't posthumously awarded a medal of some sort; that would have at least bolstered a claim to notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:23, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Not a local newspaper, a regional one, The Northern Echo, similar to the Yorkshire Post or The Evening Chronicle. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 12:18, 25 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:SOLDIER and lacks SIGCOV to satisfy WP:GNG, local hero only with no real notability. Mztourist (talk) 03:43, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per Roxy. BlueD954 (talk) 04:08, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. The only significant coverage is in one regional newspaper. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:41, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Unfortunately, the subject fails WP:GNG and WP:SOLDIER. Looks like an WP:1E. Having 3 refs written by a single source - The Northern Echo doesn't qualify as WP:SIGCOV. Less Unless (talk) 15:55, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above. WP:MEMORIAL is also relevant. —Brigade Piron (talk) 20:15, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per Peacemaker and Less Unless. Northern Echo is good coverage, but not enough on its own. Eddie891 Talk Work 21:01, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, not enough here to meet the guidelines. Geschichte (talk) 21:30, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
