Technical nomination only. IP editor 203.10.224.58 (talk • contribs • count) started the nomination process with the following comment: "tag for deletion...only notable for having died in combat....this page is a memorial)" Eastmain 00:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Military-related deletions. -- Eastmain 00:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable member of the military. A quick review of the IP's talk page may be helpful. --Eastmain 00:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Member is not notable. Page is a memorial for a member. Again my IP is dynamic and 2000 people use theis address. Cannot help if some of them use it to vandalize.--203.10.224.59 01:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. There is nothing in this article that indicates the subject is notable. Closest thing maybe would be the Bronze Star, but that's been discussed in the WP:BIO talk page archives more than once with a strong consensus that medals at that level do not bestow notability. (As opposed to something like the Medal of Honor, which would indeed make one notable.) Mwelch 01:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Sad, but so is every one of the 2,000 + deaths in Iraq. Wikipedia is not a memorial.--Bryson{Talk}{Edits} 01:29, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Unless, for example, there was some equivalent to this person as a character in Blackhawk Down. FrozenPurpleCube 01:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a memorial. Sr13 (T|C) 03:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:NOT#MEMORIAL CitiCat 04:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above, particularly Mwelch re: Bronze Star and FrozenPurpleCube re: Black Hawk Down (no, he is not portrayed in the film, see Black_Hawk_Down#Cast). --Dhartung | Talk 04:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete As wikipedia not a memorial. Davewild 07:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a memorial.--Looper5920 10:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above, fails WP:BIO. Bronze Stars aren't quite given out as readily as candy, but they're not particular notable in of themselves.  RGTraynor  16:01, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BIO. No assertion of notability is made other than the Bronze Star. --Cyrus Andiron 18:11, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all of the above. Goodnightmush Talk 19:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per comments above. -- Alucard (Dr.) | Talk 20:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless better evidence of notability can be shown; Wikipedia is not a memorial. Actually, a WikiMemorial might be an interesting use of the Wiki software. But Wikipedia isn't it. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, as Wikipedia is not a memorial. --Dariusk 20:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete There are no references to demonstrate notability and there is no assertion of notability in the text. --Kevin Murray 20:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:BIO; as always, I would be willing to reconsider if additional evidence were offered. --ElKevbo 22:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOT (memorial). --PaxEquilibrium 23:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a memorial. It's tragic but dying in a war is not unusual. There is no evidence presented that this person meets any of our established inclusion criteria. Rossami (talk) 04:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - sad, but wiki is not a memorial -- Whpq 17:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article provides no proof of the subject's notability. -- Black Falcon 17:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete A review of the material yielded by Google search does nothing to augment subject's notability, and WP is not a memorial. Fishhead64 17:40, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Being so involved in so many of America's most recent conflicts, in addition to surviving cancer, combines to make this person notable. Academic Challenger 04:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No claims of notability other than normal memorials for the dead. Sorry, but he's no more notable than any of the millions who have died in other wars or survived cancer before the advent of the internet. -- Necrothesp 22:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per the commenters above. My sympathies go out to his family, but alas Wikipedia is not a memorial. Yamaguchi先生 01:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
