[edit] Charles L. McGaha
Non-notable person. Only claim to notability is that he won the Medal of Honor. Creator removed prod without comment. Redfarmer (talk) 19:46, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep No, I did not remove a prod tag. I removed a {{notability}} tag which said "If you are familiar with the subject matter, please expand or rewrite the article to establish its notability", which I felt I had done. The Medal of Honor is the United States military's highest decoration, and I believe that being a recipient of the medal makes one sufficiently notable. There are numerous reliable, secondary sources which cover this guy, and I will continue to add these references if given the time (the article is only an hour old). jwillbur 19:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Per WP:MIL notability guidelines. If he's a Medal of Honor winner (verified by the .mil reference) there are other secondary sources out there. It's just a matter of locating and improving the article.--Cube lurker (talk) 20:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Point taken. That does make it very clear. Withdrawing. Redfarmer (talk) 20:20, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
