Notability: I cannot locate significant coverage to meet GNG. The subject fails WP:SOLDIER. Article created by user User:Armstrong97527 who self-identifies as Ken Armstrong, so appears to be a relative or the subject himself. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:10, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom. Fails WP:Soldier. I attempted to find a source for the January 1989 incident mentioned, but I found only 5 articles mentioning Lampedusa in 1988-1989 on newspaper.com. Those were from August 1989 and October. The August 26, 1989 Stars and Stripes article was a nice bit about the Loran station and verifies that it was a NATO command held by the USCG. LTJG Gregory Cruthis was the station's commanding officer at that time with 26 total Coastguardsmen on duty there. This type of command is not high enough to meet WP:Soldier, even if the article had listed Armstrong. I did find an article mentioning a public affairs officer named Lt. Ken Armstrong in a Pacific Stars and Stripes article, CG looks for hijacked freighter, by David Allen from Feb 5, 1993. He was mentioned and is quoted in the article in his role as the 14th District CG HQ Public Affairs officer in Honolulu. However, this does not rise to the level of WP:Soldier or GNG. --Dual Freq (talk) 01:16, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Thanks to Dual Freq for some good research on his Coast Guard service. I could find no evidence that he is notable as a pastor. This is a 2007 autobiography largely referenced to his own website and various unreliable sources which are all dead links. The referenced New York Times article does not even mention Armstrong so is of no value in establishing notability. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:58, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per above, no evidence of notability. A self-promotional autobiography. Joe Roe (talk) 11:00, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Self-promotional and not notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:34, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
DElete -- I am not suggesting that the events did not happen, but he seems too junior to merit an article. NN. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:09, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
