Is the first person from Montana to be killed in Iraq a claim to notability? The claim is true per 4 hits in Google News but I don't think that's enough to pass WP:BIO. A lot of people have been killed so far in Iraq, this appears to be sad for his family and friends, but not particularly notable or even newsworthy. Ghits don't assert that he was notable for anything else. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 23:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
