[edit] Jesse Samek

Jesse Samek (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

A speedy deletion was overturned at deletion review on the grounds that having an Air Force camp named after him is an assertion of notability. It is now here to discuss whether this claim can be sourced or whether other reasons exist why this article is not a memorial. This is a procedural listing, I have no opinion. ~ trialsanderrors 03:22, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep - I found two AP articles on him here[1], one in the Las Vegas Sun[2] and there are a few paragraphs in the Congressional Record[3]. Naming a USAF camp at Kandahar Air Fired Camp Samek does make him notable enough IMHO. I suggest working the citations into the article or at least including them as external links. --Duke of Duchess Street 02:19, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 18:45, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I rewrote and added references. Made it an article and not a memorial. KnightLago 20:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
