[edit] Ira Jones

~~Nonsense.~~ Should have researched more thoroughly. Looking better. Keep. Khanartist 21:18, 2005 Jan 14 (UTC)

Comment It's mostly true, except that Ira was a guy, not a girl. Ira was Elvis' sergeant in the army. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:31, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)

keep barely notable. Article needs complete rewrite. I'll try to make it at least a valid substub. Johntex 23:00, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Comment OK - I worked on the article. Please check it out now. I suspect if we leave it up some elvis fan will come along and improve it pretty soon. Johntex 23:07, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Comment I still don't think it's very notable. I imagine that Elvis served with quite a few people while in the Army. I don't know much about Elvis, so if Ira Jones is in fact notable I'll change my vote. Amazon.com Khanartist 23:30, 2005 Jan 14 (UTC)

Comment I can't believe I'm working on this article, but I've found more material. It turns out Jones wrote a book about his time with Elvis. He is starting to look a little more notable. Johntex 23:25, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Keep this Elvis cruft. I wonder if that jeep had velour seatcovers or whatever? Wyss 23:44, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Comment Thanks Khanartist. Would you like to remove the delete notice and replace it with a "stub" or "attention" notice to help it continue to improve? Johntex 23:45, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I put in a general purpose stub, as "Musician" didn't seem to fit. I didn't remove the deletion tag, because I'm not quite sure what WP policy is in regards to that area. I'd be happy to, but is it kosher? Khanartist 23:52, 2005 Jan 14 (UTC)

Keep based on monumental improvements to article as listed. Note: the book by Ira is real but very rare... I've never seen a copy. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:17, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
Weak Delete, borderline notability even if he was Elvis' sergeant. Megan1967 02:11, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
