[edit] Trevor Greene
Another wounded Canadian soldier, whose notability is that he was wounded. YUL89YYZ 21:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Comment/Abstain. Seems to be the subject of a fair amount of media attention, with 109 unique Googles for "Trevor Greene" afghanistan, many of which appear to be media articles from both Canada and overseas. Google News has 15 hits on the subject. We seem to keep a fair amount of USIraqWarcruft, and if this article was expanded to relfect the events and the media attention, I would personally have no qualms about the presence of this article, but choose to leave it up to more knowledgeable powers to decide its fate. -- Saberwyn 21:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, in a war period with relatively few casualties, almost all will get mentioned in the news. However, merely being mentioned does not confer notability, except in extreme cases. -- Kjkolb 04:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep if expanded with proper information -- getcrunkjuicecontribs 19:50, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - do we create pages for all 17,000 US troops wounded in combat in Iraq? Not notable--Looper5920 05:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
This AfD is being relisted to generate a clearer consensus. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks!

- Delete as NN. Having articles on every wounded soldier on all sides of a conflict isn't feasible or desirable. Henrik 09:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete unless he was awarded a medal and the incident itself becomes notable (in which case redirect to the article on that incident). --CrypticBacon 11:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, unless we're going to have articles on the Iraqi wounded as well. --kingboyk 13:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. There are, sadly, huge numbers of injured soldiers. Unless he is to receive a major medal, he is no more notable than any other injured soldier. Average Earthman 18:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
